Turning Video Models into Generalist Robot Policies

ArXi:2605.27817v1 Announce Type: cross Video generative models have emerged as a promising robotics backbone, capable of generating videos that depict the completion of complex tasks across embodiments and environments. Recent work proposes robot foundation models that jointly predict future observations and actions by finetuning video models with action-labeled data. In this paper, we test the limits of an alternative approach: leave the video planner as-is while
