Coordinating Humanoid Loco-Manipulation through Action-Conditioned Latent Foresight

Humanoid household tasks often require concurrent loco-manipulation, where the robot must move, adjust posture, maintain balance, and manipulate objects as a single coordinated behavior. Yet existing humanoid policies typically decompose locomotion and manipulation, while recent world-action models remain either arm-centric or video-centered. We present $ω$-0, a latent predictive whole-body world-action model for real-world humanoid concurrent loco-manipulation. Given a language instruction, current visual observation, and robot proprioceptive state, $ω$-0 directly predicts controller-compatible whole-body action latents for real-robot execution. Rather than reconstructing future videos, $ω$-0 learns compact future observation embeddings as a lightweight predictive objective, coupling latent visual foresight with diffusion-based whole-body action generation. The model supports egocentric RGB, exocentric RGB, and exocentric depth inputs, and leverages controller-based simulation replay to ground human/public visual-motion priors into robot-executable action latents. We further collect $ω$-HOME, a 40+ hour real-world household humanoid dataset with synchronized multi-view observations, whole-body SMPL motions, robot states, and action latents. Real-world experiments on 11 household tasks demonstrate that a single $ω$-0 model can produce smooth manipulate-while-moving behaviors and consistently outperform representative imitation learning, VLA, humanoid, and WAM baselines.

Humanoid loco-manipulation requires coordinated locomotion and manipulation informed by future scene evolution and whole-body motion, yet learning these capabilities is constrained by scarce robot demonstrations. Human video and motion datasets offer scalable supervision, but many contain only video or motion rather than paired video-motion data. Moreover, human motion does not directly specify executable robot actions. We present Being-M0.7, a latent world-action model that transfers visual-motion priors learned from mixed-modality human data to humanoid control through pre-training, robot mid-training, and action post-training. We curate a corpus from more than 10,000 hours of raw human-centric data, integrating video-only, motion-only, and paired video-motion streams to learn complementary visual dynamics and whole-body kinematic structure. Joint prediction of future latent visual states and motion encourages visual representations to encode future kinematics. Robot mid-training adapts this coarse-grained prior to robot viewpoints and body dynamics. During action post-training, an action expert combines visual predictive representations from the frozen, adapted prior with current images and proprioception through gated cross-attention, grounding predictive context in executable whole-body commands. Being-M0.7 achieves the highest aggregate success rate among the compared baselines on SIMPLE and matches the strongest baseline on real-world Unitree G1 loco-manipulation tasks.

Robot manipulation uses temporal context to select actions and visual foresight to assess their consequences, yet dense representations of past and future observations incur substantial processing costs. We introduce PACT-WAM, a world-action model that jointly generates a 16-step action trajectory and its temporally corresponding visual forecast through conditional flow sampling. Hierarchical history encoding assigns coarse spatial representations to earlier observations and finer representations to recent ones, retaining 16 observations with 256 tokens per view, 75% fewer than dense encoding of the same frames. A shared flow module jointly updates continuous action and visual states through two modality-specific heads under transition-wise causal attention, and a TiTok-VAE decoder reconstructs multi-view future images from the visual latents. Decoded forecasts also support Proposal Review (PR), a vision-language model component for execution-prefix selection and proposal rejection. Without PR, PACT-WAM achieves average success rates of 98.6%, 92.3%, and 78.0% on LIBERO, RoboTwin 2.0, and real-world Piper tasks, respectively. PR provides a test-time enhancement, raising these rates to 99.5%, 93.4%, and 86.7%. Ablations show that hierarchical history allocation and joint action-visual generation improve control success, while analyses of visual capacity and forecast-guided execution characterize the trade-offs between success and proposal-generation cost.
