Introducing PointZero—a 3D world model pre-trained without robots.

Dexterous manipulation requires understanding diverse 3D dynamics, but current approaches rely on expensive robot data. So how can we pre-train a 3D dynamics model without it?

PointZero introduces a simple idea: learning to complete 3D point tracks yields transferable 3D dynamics!

Our model achieves SOTA results on:
🔥 Zero-shot 3D dynamics
🔥 Action-conditioned 3D dynamics (post-training)
🔥 Imitation learning (post-training)

The hottest debate of the year: do robots need 🌎 world models 🌎?

Join us at CoRL 2026 for a scientific debate on the case for — and against — world models for robotics, featuring @chelseabfinn @vincesitzmann @YunzhuLiYZ @GeorgiaChal!

📄 Paper submissions are open now and close October 12. We welcome both research papers and position papers.

🏆 Submit your work for a chance to win an NVIDIA Jetson Thor or a Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra!

Organized by @longhini_a @wenlong_huang Lasse Peters, @Jefferson_Aero , @PatkiSiddharth @jeff_ichnowski @drfeifei and myself. Thanks to sponsors @NVIDIARobotics and @Samsung!

World Labs is joining @AMD!

Over the past few years our incredible team has pushed the boundaries of spatial intelligence through models like Marble, RTFM, and now Atlas.

By partnering with AMD we will train bigger and better models than ever before, and build out an ecosystem of open models. I can’t wait to get started!
