Article Summary

World Action Models (WAMs) typically adapt video foundation models to robotic control through joint video and action prediction. However, task-level instructions may leave the next physical interaction underspecified, requiring semantic grounding and state-dependent motion selection. To this end, we introduce Atomic-WAM, an understand-then-execute framework that connects task reasoning to action generation through atomic-motion descriptions. Specifically, a vision-language reasoner describes the next local motion from the task instruction and visual context, guiding a WAM to predict future video and an action chunk. Furthermore, an automatic annotation pipeline curates temporally aligned, contact-enriched supervision from multi-view DROID demonstrations. To make atomic-motion predictions executable by the WAM, we post-train the reasoner with Execution-Grounded GRPO (EG-GRPO). With the WAM fixed, EG-GRPO adapts the reasoner through rewards for motion appropriateness and execution success. Finally, Atomic-WAM achieves 39.6% task success under default instructions and 31.6% under vague instructions in a real-to-sim evaluation on RoboLab.
