DreamTrue: Action-Faithful Robot World Model with Counterfactual Post-Training

We present DreamTrue, a multi-view, cross-embodiment robot world model for action-faithful and physically plausible video prediction.

Key points

  • Training such a model on existing robot datasets faces two obstacles: imprecise calibration can impair action following, while limited coverage of unsuccessful interactions can bias predictions toward successful outcomes.
  • To improve action following across embodiments, we render action trajectories into image-space conditions and introduce offline geometric calibration to align these conditions with the target videos.
  • To broaden interaction coverage, we introduce counterfactual post-training, modifying recorded action trajectories and generating future videos under a wider range of actions and contact configurations.
  • To provide feedback on these predictions without paired ground-truth futures, we construct a human-annotated video dataset covering robot, object, and interaction defects and use it to train an embodied video reward model.
