Abstract (arXiv)

Evaluating robot manipulation policies through repeated physical trials is costly. We study whether an action-conditioned world model can serve as a closed-loop test environment whose policy success rates track those on real robots. Beyond realistic video, the model must return the camera views and proprioceptive state needed for the policy's next action and preserve failed-action outcomes to avoid overestimating policy capability. We introduce ProWorld, a world model that jointly predicts multi-view video and robot state, then feeds both back to a frozen policy for repeated interaction. ProWorld comprises a shared transformer for joint video-state flow prediction and Shared-Time View Encoding to distinguish cameras while preserving temporal synchronization. To reduce interaction hallucinations that turn missed grasps into successful lifts, we augment training with failed interactions collected in high-fidelity simulation, reducing inflated success rates in the generated environment. ProWorld achieves the highest overall TriWorldBench score among the compared methods. Across three policies and four local manipulation tasks, it attains a Pearson correlation of 0.95 and a Spearman correlation of 0.94 between generated and real success rates. These results support joint visual-proprioceptive feedback and failure-aware training as a basis for world-model-based policy evaluation.
