Methodology
EnerVerse employs a chunk-wise autoregressive video diffusion framework to predict future embodied spaces from instructions, enhanced by a sparse context memory for long-term reasoning. It adopts a multi-view video representation to model the 3D robotics world, and uses a data engine (EnerVerse-D) that combines generative modeling with 4D Gaussian Splatting to reduce the sim-to-real gap. The policy head (EnerVerse-A) translates 4D world representations into physical actions by reusing features from the first denoising step and predicting action chunks.
Key Results
EnerVerse achieves state-of-the-art performance in both simulation and real-world tasks, with an efficiency of about 280 ms per 8-step action chunk on a single RTX 4090.
