Summary

AW-0 couples code, future video and robot actions so predicted behavior can become a reusable program.

AW-0 models code, video and actions as three linked generative streams. A code expert produces parameterized routines and control logic while video and action experts predict future states and motor commands. An automated pipeline labels human and robot trajectories with programs and consolidates repeated routines into a skill library. Evaluations on RoboTwin 2.0 and physical bimanual tasks report gains over compared vision-language-action and world-action baselines. Those results are specific to the tested tasks, but they connect visual prediction with compositional execution.
