What Objects Enable, Not What They Are: Functional Latent Spaces for Affordance Reasoning

Researchers introduce A4D, a machine learning system that enables robots to reason about object functionalities rather than appearances for planning tasks. The approach achieves 94% inference accuracy on existing affordances and over 90% on new affordances while requiring significantly less training data, addressing a fundamental limitation in current robot planning systems.

Sensorimotor World Models: Perception for Action via Inverse Dynamics

Researchers introduce Sensorimotor World Models (SMWM), a latent world model that uses inverse dynamics regularization to learn action-aligned representations from high-dimensional observations. The approach addresses representation collapse in JEPA-style models while enabling efficient planning without frozen encoders or complex regularizers, demonstrating competitive performance on control tasks.

What Makes Video World Model Latents Action-Relevant: Prediction over Reconstruction

Researchers demonstrate that temporal video pretraining, not pixel reconstruction quality, drives action-relevant structure in video world model latent spaces. Across diverse encoder architectures, video-pretrained self-supervised models consistently outperform reconstruction-based approaches in recovering action information, with implications for developing more effective embodied AI systems.
