CoRe-WAM: Correspondence-Aligned Temporal Residuals for World Action Models
arXiv cs.RO0 views
arXiv:2609.27314v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Comparing current and past observations helps robots understand scene changes and select subsequent actions during manipulation. However, comparing visual features at the same image location can mix different scene content when objects or the camera move. We introduce CoRe-WAM, a world-action model that incorporates correspondence-aligned visual changes through a parameter-efficient temporal interface. Its TraceDelta module uses correspondences from a frozen tracking model to transport historical visual features to current locations before computing signed differences in a shared pretrained feature space. Correspondence thus determines which historical content is compared with the present, rather than entering the policy as a separate trajectory representation. A lightweight adapter converts these differences into validity-gated residuals that supplement current visual conditioning, allowing the policy to use recent changes alongside current-scene information. Built on Motus, CoRe-WAM keeps the pretrained backbone weights frozen and optimizes 1.59 million parameters. With a 5,000-update adaptation budget, CoRe-WAM achieves 92.22% clean success across 50 RoboTwin 2.0 tasks, 3.56 percentage points above Motus; on randomized evaluation, it achieves 89.60% success, a 2.58-point gain. Integrating TraceDelta into a StarVLA-based policy improves clean success from 58.10% to 67.62%, supporting transfer of the temporal interface beyond Motus.
