W2A achieves 95.9% average success on LIBERO and runs about 21× faster than the representative WAM baseline. It distills intermediate denoising representations from a video diffusion model into an action model and discards the video model at test time.
Key points
Success rate: 95.9% average on LIBERO
Inference speed: about 21× faster than the representative WAM baseline

Agentic robot control runs 2.5 h after 30 s recharge
Agentic robot control runs autonomously for 2.5 hours after a 30-second material recharge. It assembles one gadget every 7 minutes and stops when parts run out.
Key points
Runtime: 2.5 hours autonomous after 30 seconds recharge
Production: 1 gadget per 7 minutes, stops due to parts shortage

Reflex humanoid control catches objects without falling, 1.6M rendered steps
Reflex, a Visually Grounded Reactive Humanoid Control system, lets a Unitree G1 catch boxes thrown by people using only an onboard RGB-D camera. The robot repositions its feet and torso, forms a support with its forearms and chest, absorbs momentum and stays upright. Training runs in three stages in Isaac Lab and requires about 1.6 million rendered steps.
Key points
Reflex enables a Unitree G1 to catch boxes with an RGB-D camera, repositioning feet and torso and using forearms and chest for support.
Training consists of three Isaac Lab stages and uses roughly 1.6 million rendered steps, with a latent recovered from 25 frames of egocentric RGB-D history.
