MotuBrain: An Advanced World Action Model for Robot Control

About

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models generalize semantically well but often lack fine-grained modeling of world dynamics. We present MotuBrain, a unified World Action Model that jointly models video and action under a UniDiffuser formulation with a three-stream Mixture-of-Transformers architecture. A single model supports policy learning, world modeling, video generation, inverse dynamics, and joint video-action prediction, while scaling to heterogeneous multimodal data such as video-only, task-agnostic, and cross-embodiment robot data. Building on Motus, MotuBrain further introduces unified multiview modeling, an independent text stream for stronger language-action coupling, a shared cross-embodiment action representation, and an efficient post-training and deployment recipe for long-horizon real-world control. Our inference stack combines step reduction, compilation, FP8 quantization, DiT caching, V2A-style action-only inference, and real-time chunked closed-loop execution, achieving over 50x speedup over a naive baseline and up to 11 Hz inference. Experimentally, MotuBrain achieves 95.8% and 96.1% average success on RoboTwin 2.0 under clean and randomized settings, respectively, attains the strongest reported EWMScore in our WorldArena comparison, and adapts to new humanoid embodiments with only 50--100 trajectories. These results show that unified world action models can scale in generality, predictive accuracy, and real-world deployability.
