BAT-WAM: Bridging Action and Touch in World-Action Models for Dexterous Hands
This research presents BAT-WAM, a framework designed to bridge visual, joint-state, and tactile representations for world action models (WAMs) aimed at enhancing dexterous manipulation.

valuation protocol, BAT-WAM reduces the root mean squared error (RMSE) of tactile reconstruction by 34.73% under fully masked conditions and 38.84% under partially masked conditions, relative to an image-conditioned HandTouch checkpoint. For future tactile prediction conditioned on target-time RGB and historical actions, it reduces mean RMSE by 85.56% relative to OpenWAM with HandTouch. Real-robot experiments further

show that BAT-WAM consistently outperforms related WAM baselines in dexterous manipulation. Generalization experiments on unseen objects and scenes also demonstrate substantial improvements over baseline models. These findings support joint modeling of visual context, hand state, and touch as a representation approach for multimodal WAMs.
