Hierarchical World Models with Implicit Dynamics

Hierarchical World Models with Implicit Dynamics

Summary

This research introduces ID-WM (Implicit Dynamics World Models), a hierarchical framework that separates high-level state-space reachability sampling from low-level inverse dynamics solving. By prioritizing local physical feasibility, the method synthesizes novel long-horizon plans from short segments, achieving a 38.5% improvement over state-of-the-art policy and diffusion-based planners and a 135% gain over single-level world model MPC in complex, unseen configurations for navigation and manipulation tasks.

Editorial context

The paper proposes ID-WM, a hierarchical world model that decouples state-space reachability from local control to improve long-horizon planning for embodied agents.

nstrained by low-level execution details. By prioritizing local physical feasibility over global behavioral patterns, ID-WM synthesizes novel long-horizon plans from short segments, transcending the specific behavioral modes seen during training. We demonstrate its effectiveness across three navigation and manipulation suites, achieving a 38.5% improvement over state-of-the-art policy and diffusion-based planners. Cr

. We introduce ID-WM (Implicit Dynamics World Models), a hierarchical world model that decouples state-space reachability from local control. Our framework utilizes a high-level model to sample feasible transitions across the state manifold and a low-level world model as an inverse dynamics solver to ground these transitions into precise actions. This allows the planner to identify reachable subgoals without being co
