X-World: Transferring Video Priors to Variable-View Robot Control
arXiv cs.RO0 views
arXiv:2610.34105v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Video diffusion models provide a source of interaction representations for robot control, but transferring these representations requires reconciling variable camera inputs with heterogeneous action interfaces and closed-loop execution. We present X-World, a framework that transfers a video prior through a fixed-length token sequence to a shared action expert. A residual cross-view attention branch extends a pretrained video backbone to one, two, or three views while retaining its original self-attention path. A layer-aligned Q-Former aggregates backbone features, and dataset-specific modules map between native state and action interfaces and the shared action expert. Training separates video adaptation from action-only pretraining by freezing the video backbone in the latter stage, followed by joint target-domain post-training. The policy extracts video features with a single backbone pass and uses asynchronous action chunking for execution. On LIBERO, X-World reaches 98.5\% mean success; its LIBERO-trained checkpoint obtains 76.5\% on LIBERO-Plus without further adaptation. The seven-shift breakdown reveals gains in robot, language, lighting, and layout perturbations, alongside weaknesses under camera, background, and noise shifts relative to OpenVLA-OFT. On six dual-arm real-world tasks, it achieves 81.7\% mean success over 20 trials per task. Removing video adaptation or cross-view fusion produces the largest observed success drops among the tested removals.
