Unified Motion-Action Modeling for Heterogeneous Robot Learning

arXiv:2606.16917v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present Unified Motion-Action (UMA) Model, an approach that uses 3D object motion trajectories as a shared interface to bridge visuomotor control and dynamics modeling. UMA treats object motion and robot actions as co-evolving variables under a masked generative objective, in which the mask pattern determines both the supervision regime during pretraining and the inference mode at deployment.

arXiv:2606.16917v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present Unified Motion-Action (UMA) Model, an approach that uses 3D object motion trajectories as a shared interface to bridge visuomotor control and dynamics modeling. UMA treats object motion and robot actions as co-evolving variables under a masked generative objective, in which the mask pattern determines both the supervision regime during pretraining and the inference mode at deployment. Using hindsight-relabeled motion contexts and a contrastive objective that disentangles task intent from scene geometry, UMA enables multi-task pretraining across heterogeneous data sources without requiring manually annotated task instructions. At deployment, the same pretrained parameters support motion-conditioned visuomotor control, motion-based dynamics modeling, and task adaptation from few-shot demonstrations. Pretrained on a mixture of robot demonstrations, human videos, and simulated data, UMA consistently outperforms state-of-the-art baselines specialized for each inference mode.
