ω-0: One Model Lets Humanoid Robots Walk and Manipulate Objects at the Same Time
Household chores usually require a robot to move, keep its balance, and manipulate an object all at once, but most humanoid policies still treat locomotion and manipulation as separate problems solved one after another. ω-0 instead predicts whole-body actions directly, using compact learned representations of what the robot expects to see next as a lightweight guide, rather than trying to generate full future video frames, which keeps the model fast enough for real-time control while still reasoning about how the scene will change.
