Chris Paxton Highlights Humanoid Manipulation World Model Research

Chris Paxton posted a quote noting research on learning contact-rich humanoid manipulation policies purely within a world model. He stated that a very large model is usually needed to get the contact dynamics right, but the work instead couples a large global model with a local model. The post references very cool work on @RoboPapers by @Jsphamigo and @Rk4342R. It includes a 146-second video showing a silver-and-black humanoid robot.
