arXiv:2607.18709v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing robot datasets remain expensive to curate, embodiment-specific, and insufficiently annotated with the fine-grained structure required for generalizable reasoning, execution, or long-horizon environment dynamics simulation. Building on our prior work, RoboInter1.0, we present RoboInter1.5, an extended and holistic suite of intermediate representations for both robotic manipulation and embodied world modeling. RoboInter1.5 provides a unified resource of data, benchmarks, and models centered on dense manipulation-oriented intermediate representations. Specifically, RoboInter-Data contains over 230k manipulation episodes across 571 scenes with dense per-frame annotations covering more than ten types of intermediate representations, including subtasks, primitive skills, object and gripper grounding, segmentation, affordance, grasp poses, contact points, motion traces, etc. Built upon these annotations, RoboInter-VQA introduces spatial and temporal embodied VQA tasks to benchmark and improve the intermediate-representation reasoning capabilities of our RoboInter-VLM. RoboInter-VLA further studies how such representations benefit action execution through implicit, explicit, and modular plan-then-execute paradigms. To better model the physical world, we further introduce RoboInter-World, which leverages intermediate representations as structured conditioning signals for controllable prediction of future world states. Extensive evaluations demonstrate that RoboInter1.5 provides a unified spatiotemporal scaffolding for intermediate representations. Rather than treating intermediate representations merely as interpretable signals, RoboInter1.5 conceptualizes them as a bidirectional interface that both regularizes low-level action spaces and constrains the latent rollouts of open-world physical simulators.
