Being-H0.7: A Latent World-Action Model from Egocentric Videos

Visual-Language-Action models (VLAs) have advanced generalist robot control by mapping multimodal observations and language instructions directly to actions, but sparse action supervision often encourages shortcut mappings rather than representations of dynamics, contact, and task progress. Recent world-action models introduce future prediction through video rollouts, yet pixel-space prediction is a costly and indirect substrate for control, as it may model visual details irrelevant to action generation and introduces substantial training or inference overhead. We present Being-H0.7, a latent world-action model that brings future-aware reasoning into VLA-style policies without generating future frames. Being-H0.7 inserts learnable latent queries between perception and action as a compact reasoning interface, and trains them with a future-informed dual-branch design: a deployable prior branch infers latent states from the current context, while a training-only posterior branch replaces the queries with embeddings from future observations. Jointly aligning the two branches at the latent reasoning space leads the prior branch to reason future-aware, action-useful structure from current observations alone. At inference, Being-H0.7 discards the posterior branch and performs no visual rollout. Experiments across six simulation benchmarks and diverse real-world tasks show that Being-H0.7 achieves state-of-the-art or comparable performance, combining the predictive benefits of world models with the efficiency and deployability of direct VLA policies.

EgoEMG: A Multimodal Egocentric Dataset with Bilateral EMG and Vision for Hand Pose Estimation

Surface electromyography (sEMG) records muscle activity during hand movement and can be decoded to recover detailed hand articulation. EMG and egocentric vision are complementary for hand sensing: EMG captures fine-grained finger articulation even under occlusion and poor lighting, while vision provides global hand configuration. However, no existing dataset synchronizes both modalities. We present EgoEMG, a multimodal egocentric dataset for bimanual hand pose estimation. EgoEMG includes bilateral wristband EMG with 16 total channels (8 per wrist) sampled at 2 kHz, 120 Hz IMU, egocentric wide-angle RGB video, external RGB-D video, and mocap-derived hand motion with wrist articulation angles. The dataset covers 41 participants performing 60 gesture classes, including 30 single-hand gestures and 30 bimanual gestures, totaling more than 10 hours of recording. We also introduce a benchmark with three tasks -- EMG-to-pose, vision-to-pose, and EMG+vision fusion -- under a shared joint-angle prediction target and common generalization split axes (cross-gesture, cross-user, and combined). As baselines, we evaluate EMGFormer for EMG-to-pose and generic ResNet/ViT backbones for vision-to-pose. We further study a residual fusion architecture that improves over matched lightweight vision-only baselines. Together, EgoEMG and its benchmark establish a foundation for future research on multimodal hand pose estimation with EMG and vision.
