WM-VS: Progress-Aligned World Models for Closed-Loop Visual Servoing

Closed-loop visual servoing requires predictions that indicate whether an action reduces task error, not only whether the action is plausible. We call this gap the prediction-control mismatch and introduce WM-VS, a target-centric progress-aligned world-model framework for closed-loop visual servoing. Offline target-region DINOv2 correspondences define a signed four-dimensional servo coordinate for translation, scale, and in-plane rotation. Stage 1 aligns action-conditioned latent transitions with this coordinate; Stage 2 freezes the world model and trains a reactive joint-velocity policy with action imitation, consequence supervision, and short imagined rollouts that favor error contraction. Deployment is RGB-only and reactive, without online trajectory optimization. On a real 7-DoF eye-to-hand system, WM-VS reaches a corner RMSE no larger than 10 percent of its initial value in 30/30 trials and retains this criterion at the final valid frame in 25/30 (83.33 percent). Removing future-error alignment reduces retention to 26.67 percent. The learned progress signal agrees with an external AprilTag corner error not used for training or control (mean Spearman rho = 0.8778). Without retraining, two unseen 3D targets achieve translation-error reductions of 86.48 percent and 90.27 percent and rotation-error reductions of 70.01 percent and 65.70 percent. These results link progress-aligned action consequences to repeated closed-loop correction and transfer. Code and data will be released as open source.

HAP: A Hand-Driven Active Perception Framework for Egocentric Head Motion Prediction

Egocentric motion forecasting has primarily focused on hands and manipulated objects, leaving future human head motion comparatively underexplored. During manipulation, the head both redirects perception toward the target to acquire task-relevant evidence and coordinates with body and hand motion. We therefore formulate future six Degree of Freedom (6-DoF) head-motion prediction conditioned on observed hand motion and inferred target context, and propose HAP, a Hand-Driven Active Perception framework. HAP infers confidence for each target object from observed hand motion and object geometry. Then constructs a dynamic Predictive Target-Centric Amodal Occlusion Graph (P-TAOG) representing current and potential occlusion among candidate objects. Directed graph and causal temporal reasoning encode the evolving target conditioned perceptual state, which is fused with hand and head motion history. A horizon-wise gate then blends the learned trajectory with a constant velocity prior. We further introduce Bottle, an egocentric RGB-D dataset of object manipulation toward specified targets, with coordinated head and hand motion under changing target visibility. Experiments on the public dataset and Bottle show that HAP achieves lower head motion prediction errors than representative baselines, supporting the value of hand driven intention and dynamic occlusion reasoning for anticipating human head motion. Code will be released at https://HAP-ego.github.io/HAP.

EEG-VID: Task-Guided Latent Predictive Pretraining for EEG Decoding and Assistive Target Selection

We propose EEG-VID, a task-guided latent predictive pretraining framework for EEG decoding under session and subject shifts. EEG-VID predicts future latent EEG states from recent history using an exponential-moving-average target encoder and weak task guidance, followed by supervised fine-tuning. Across VIG-48 and BCI Competition IV-2a/IV-2b, Stage 1 improves mean accuracy in 41 of 42 matched backbone-dataset-protocol comparisons, including all 12 leave-one-subject-out settings, with a maximum gain of 16.22 percentage points. On the 48-region cross-day VIG-48 task, EEG-VID achieves 6.52% Top-1 and 30.50% Top-5 accuracy. In a separate six-participant offline robot-scene study, candidate-constrained target selection reaches 40.24% versus a 25% chance level after subject-specific calibration. These results support task-guided latent prediction as a transferable pretraining strategy for EEG decoding and scene-constrained assistive target selection.

Uni-Hand: Universal Hand Motion Forecasting in Egocentric Views

Forecasting how human hands move in egocentric views is critical for applications like augmented reality and human-robot policy transfer. Recently, several hand trajectory prediction (HTP) methods have been developed to generate future possible hand waypoints, which still suffer from insufficient prediction targets, inherent modality gaps, entangled hand-head motion, and limited validation in downstream tasks. To address these limitations, we present a universal hand motion forecasting framework considering multi-modal input, multi-dimensional and multi-target prediction patterns, and multi-task affordances for downstream applications. We harmonize multiple modalities by vision-language fusion, global context incorporation, and task-aware text embedding injection, to forecast hand waypoints in both 2D and 3D spaces. A novel dual-branch diffusion is proposed to concurrently predict human head and hand movements, capturing their motion synergy in egocentric vision. By introducing target indicators, the prediction model can forecast the specific joint waypoints of the wrist or the fingers, besides the widely studied hand center points. In addition, we enable Uni-Hand to additionally predict hand-object interaction states (contact/separation) to facilitate downstream tasks better. As the first work to incorporate downstream task evaluation in the literature, we build novel benchmarks to assess the real-world applicability of hand motion forecasting algorithms. The experimental results on multiple publicly available datasets and our newly proposed benchmarks demonstrate that Uni-Hand achieves the state-of-the-art performance in multi-dimensional and multi-target hand motion forecasting. Extensive validation in multiple downstream tasks also presents its impressive human-robot policy transfer to enable robotic manipulation, and effective feature enhancement for action anticipation/recognition.

Novel Diffusion Models for Multimodal 3D Hand Trajectory Prediction

Predicting hand motion is critical for understanding human intentions and bridging the action space between human movements and robot manipulations. Existing hand trajectory prediction (HTP) methods forecast the future hand waypoints in 3D space conditioned on past egocentric observations. However, such models are only designed to accommodate 2D egocentric video inputs. There is a lack of awareness of multimodal environmental information from both 2D and 3D observations, hindering the further improvement of 3D HTP performance. In addition, these models overlook the synergy between hand movements and headset camera egomotion, either predicting hand trajectories in isolation or encoding egomotion only from past frames. To address these limitations, we propose novel diffusion models (MMTwin) for multimodal 3D hand trajectory prediction. MMTwin is designed to absorb multimodal information as input encompassing 2D RGB images, 3D point clouds, past hand waypoints, and text prompt. Besides, two latent diffusion models, the egomotion diffusion and the HTP diffusion as twins, are integrated into MMTwin to predict camera egomotion and future hand trajectories concurrently. We propose a novel hybrid Mamba-Transformer module as the denoising model of the HTP diffusion to better fuse multimodal features. The experimental results on three publicly available datasets and our self-recorded data demonstrate that our proposed MMTwin can predict plausible future 3D hand trajectories compared to the state-of-the-art baselines, and generalizes well to unseen environments. The code and pretrained models have been released at https://github.com/IRMVLab/MMTwin.
