Ropedia, with NTU, Duke, UCSD and Tsinghua, released W0, a world model for robot locomotion and manipulation. It trains on 10,000 hours of human video plus 3,000 hours of robot data, using camera motion and projected skeletons as a shared interface across embodiments. The team reports it outperforms baselines on five benchmarks spanning Unitree G1, Fourier GR-1 and AgiBot hardware; results await independent verification. Code, weights and paper (arXiv, Oct 19) are public.
