World action models (WAMs) built on video generation backbones are a rising recipe for robot learning, yet remain confined to tabletop manipulation. Mobile manipulation demands simultaneous locomotion and whole-body manipulation amid scene-scale dynamics, yet is still dominated by dynamics-blind visual encoders with hand-crafted coordination. We bridge this gap with MobileWAM, a mixture-of-transformers architecture that fuses a pretrained video diffusion transformer with a lightweight action expert through layerwise joint attention, translating internet-scale motion priors into whole-body control. To reconcile the heterogeneous dynamics of moving and manipulating, each feed-forward layer of the action expert becomes a three-expert mixture of shared, locomotion, and manipulation experts, softly routed by the motion intent in the action tokens. To densify supervision, we further propose Chain-of-Foresight (CoF): intermediate representations sequentially predict a chain of future latent chunks, each step conditioned on its predecessor. CoF pairs naturally with our decoupled video--action denoising scheme. At deployment, the WAM serves as a pure current-frame encoder; foresight acts only through gradients, so at inference the foresight chain and video generation are discarded, leaving only policy-level cost. MobileWAM surpasses state-of-the-art mobile manipulation policies on ManiSkill-HAB and fine-tunes to a real ARX Lift2 mobile manipulator across diverse tasks with strong generalization. Code will be released soon.

Mobile manipulation requires a robot to coordinate base and arm motion under continuously changing viewpoints and contact conditions, within an action space far larger than that of fixed-base manipulation. Existing Vision-Language-Action (VLA) policies are limited in two respects. (i)They map observations directly to whole-body action chunks, searching this large action space without an explicit task-space motion plan, which makes coordinated base--arm prediction imprecise. (ii)They execute the predicted chunk open-loop, without checking whether the actions can realize the motion the policy intended, so control errors and unmodeled contacts accumulate into a gap between planned and realized motion. We present DreamTrajectory, a trajectory-guided framework for language-conditioned mobile manipulation that introduces one component for each limitation. Addressing(i), DreamTrajectory jointly predicts an intention-level end-effector trajectory and a whole-body action chunk in a single action expert, so that the trajectory explicitly guides base--arm action generation instead of remaining implicit. Addressing(ii), a lightweight trajectory world model predicts the trajectory that a candidate action chunk would induce, and a test-time search--predict--score procedure selects the candidate best aligned with the planned trajectory. On MS-HAB, trajectory guidance raises average success from 32.3% to 47.5% and test-time refinement further to 54.8%, with the largest gains on contact-rich articulated-object tasks. On three real-world mobile manipulation tasks, the corresponding average success rates are 63.3%, 81.7%, and 90.0%.

We present Xiaomi-Robotics-1, a foundational vision-language-action (VLA) model capable of (1) following diverse language instructions to perform a wide range of mobile manipulation tasks in unseen environments out-of-the-box, and (2) efficiently adapting to novel downstream tasks with minimal fine-tuning data. We propose a two-stage training recipe consisting of pre-training and post-training. During pre-training, we imbue the model with broad and generalizable action-generation capabilities by training on over 100k hours of real-world manipulation trajectories collected via UMI devices. Crucially, we develop a scalable auto-labeling pipeline that annotates trajectory clips with natural languages describing scene state transitions, providing rich and precise conditioning for action learning. During post-training, we aim to align these capabilities with robot embodiments and imperative instructions that humans naturally use to prompt robots. Extensive experiments demonstrate strong scaling behavior. Xiaomi-Robotics-1 consistently improves with increased data scales and model sizes during pre-training. This scaling behavior directly transfers to post-training, where a stronger pre-training model yields better out-of-the-box real-robot performance in unseen environments. Furthermore, Xiaomi-Robotics-1 serves as a strong robot foundation policy that can be efficiently fine-tuned on complex, dexterous tasks with high data efficiency. Across multiple simulation benchmarks, Xiaomi-Robotics-1 outperforms state-of-the-art methods. Notably, it establishes a new state-of-the-art with a 57.4% success rate on RoboCasa365, surpassing the previous best of 46.6%. Furthermore, it achieves an average score of 20.07 on RoboDojo, significantly outperforming the prior state-of-the-art (13.07). Code and model checkpoints will be released.

The future of World Models depends not only on scaling model capability, but also on scaling practicality and inference efficiency. High-frame-rate inference enables responsive perception, planning, and control in real-world autonomous systems. To this end, we present MoWorld, a cost-effective yet high-performance Flash World Model with an end-to-end framework spanning data generation, pre-training, distillation, and efficient inference, enabling up to 50 FPS real-time interaction with cinematic visual quality without the need of high-end GPUs. To enable large-scale real-world deployment, MoWorld jointly optimizes model capability and cost throughout the entire development pipeline. Specifically, unlike existing approaches that primarily rely on large-scale video corpora, MoWorld is built upon a scalable 3D-native data engine accumulated from our large-scale 3D vision and generative modeling pipeline, enabling the efficient construction of geometrically consistent training data across diverse real-world and synthetic environments. Based on this foundation, a curriculum cross-frame pre-training strategy for stable and scalable World Model learning, an efficient denoising-step distillation algorithm to reduce diffusion training cost, and a mixed-precision parallel inference framework for low-cost real-time deployment. MoWorld is the first real-time interactive World Model built on the Neural Processing Unit (NPU) and can achieves up to 50 FPS in such the devices, enabling practical and efficient deployment at scale. Comprehensive evaluations demonstrate that MoWorld achieves leading performance; notably, its average inference cost is only 30\%-50\% of that of existing World Models, providing a practical foundation for large-scale real-world applications of World Models. We also demonstrate diverse applications of MoWorld.

The Robust-WAM is a general post-training method for video-generation-based WAMs that preserves the VAE-based generative path and adds a lightweight semantic foresight alignment objective on the action stream to retain the large-scale VGM pretraining while grounding actions in appearance-invariant dynamics.
