UniWM introduce a unified, memory-augmented world model paradigm integrating egocentric visual foresight and planning within a single multimodal autoregressive backbone. Unlike modular frameworks, UniWM explicitly grounds action decisions in visually imagined outcomes, ensuring tight alignment between visualization and planning. A hierarchical memory mechanism further integrates detailed short-term perceptual cues with longer-term trajectory context, enabling stable, coherent reasoning over extended horizons.

You are also welcome to explore our previous work, including GOViG, which introduces a new task that we leverage multimodal LLM reasoning to generate navigation instructions directly from egocentric visual observations of the initial and goal states and HA-VLN, where we introduce HA-VLN 2.0, a unified benchmark coupling discrete (DE) and continuous (CE) navigation paradigms with explicit social-awareness constraints.

Data

We host the UniWM dataset on Hugging Face: fly1113/UniWM_Dataset.

• go_stanford, recon, sacson, scand used for both training and evaluation.
• tartandrive reserved for unseen evaluation only.
• 1XHumanoid reserved for humanoid navigation.

The directory structure will look like:

data/
├── go_stanford/
│   ├── traj_0000/
│   │   ├── 0.jpg
│   │   ├── 1.jpg
│   │   ├── ...
│   │   ├── n.jpg
│   │   └── traj_data.pkl
│   ├── traj_0001/
│   └── ...
└── ...

Each traj_xxxx/ folder contains a sequence of egocentric frames (0.jpg, 1.jpg, ..., n.jpg) and a traj_data.pkl file storing the per-step metadata (e.g., actions, poses) for that trajectory. The other splits follow the same layout.
