Processed egocentric human video outperforms teleoperated real-robot trajectories as pretraining data for embodied foundation models, delivering 24% lower validation loss and 52.5-90% higher task success rates under matched post-training protocols.

TimeProVe proposes a propose-then-verify framework using lightweight action-based candidate evidence generation followed by targeted VLM verification for efficient long video temporal reasoning, achieving 7.3% improvement on OTB with 75% fewer VLM calls.
TeachObs provides human-validated segment- and lesson-level labels on 30 classroom videos and finds frontier VLMs inconsistent, frame-inflated, and over-generous versus expert raters.
A motion-only embedding trained on synthetic point tracks matches or beats large appearance-based video models on temporal tasks and improves them when combined.
HumanNet is a 1M-hour human-centric video dataset with interaction annotations that enables better vision-language-action model performance than equivalent robot data in a controlled test.
The paper introduces World Action Models as a new paradigm unifying predictive world modeling with action generation in embodied foundation models and provides a taxonomy of existing approaches.
