RAP-WAM: Learning World-Action Models through Predictive Rehearsal and Action Perturbations

Recent world action models draw on video generation priors to jointly predict future observations and robot actions.

Key points

  • Adapting these priors to control requires determining how future predictions should guide policy learning.
  • RAP-WAM combines predictive Rehearsal and Action Perturbations (RAP) with future-supervised queries and Coupled Action Projection for policy learning.
  • Predictive rehearsal trains on model-generated inputs while retaining recorded targets, and accumulates recurring errors into a spatial prior.
  • Action-response-based spatiotemporal credit assignment combines these responses, prediction error, and the rehearsal prior to allocate visual supervision; spatially aggregating the responses determines supervision intensity across future action steps.
