About this paper

Chu Lin, Yi Sun

The paper tests robot world models forecasting motion beyond trained link-mass ranges. Models assign mass an explicit role in inertia and dynamics bias, routing actions through learned torques or a known PD controller. In simulation, actual masses raise the known-PD model’s 150-step mean joint R² from 0.609 to 0.727, within tested tasks and configurations.
