1Step-WAM: 1ステップ行動生成による高速ワールドアクションモデル

原文アブストラクト

World Action Models (WAMs) unify visual world modeling and action generation, yet their real-world deployment is heavily bottlenecked by iterative action denoising and the sequential execution of visual prefilling and action prediction. We demonstrate that the action-denoising trajectories in WAMs are approximately straight, rendering the first-step velocity a strong estimate of the final action direction. Building on this observation, we introduce 1Step-WAM, a framework that transforms multi-step action denoising into one single forward. Specifically, we employ a lightweight calibrator to directly correct the first step velocity, and use bandwidth-constrained action decoding to further reduce errors in the calibrated one-step actions. Compressing action generation into a single step enables it to execute in parallel with visual prefilling, completely breaking the sequential bottleneck of the traditional imagination-then-action paradigm. Evaluations on RoboTwin and LIBERO show that 1Step-WAM largely preserves multi-step task success with only about 13.4M trainable parameters, while achieving inference speedups of $7.44\times$, $5.98\times$, and $24.84\times$ for FastWAM, ImageWAM and Kairos, respectively. Furthermore, real-world robotic deployments using the FastWAM backbone confirm a consistent 7.44$\times$ speedup while maintaining close success rate to the multi-step baseline.
