Genex – Generative World Explorer
https://generative-world-explorer.github.io
Planning with partial observation is a central challenge in embodied AI. A majority of prior works have tackled this challenge by developing agents that physically explore their environment to update their beliefs about the world state. However, humans can imagine unseen parts of the world through a mental exploration and revise their beliefs with imagined observations. Such updated beliefs can allow them to make more informed decisions at the current step, without having to physically explore the world first. To achieve this human-like ability, we introduce the Generative World Explorer (Genex), a video generation model that allows an agent to mentally explore a large-scale 3D world (e.g., urban scenes) and acquire imagined observations to update its belief about the world .
