Pelican-Unified 1.0 model unifies embodied AI capabilities

Researchers have introduced Pelican-Unified 1.0, a novel embodied intelligence model that integrates understanding, reasoning, imagination, and action into a single system. This unified approach uses a single vision-language model to process various inputs and generate future states and actions, optimizing all capabilities simultaneously. Early experiments show Pelican-Unified 1.0 achieving state-of-the-art performance on multiple benchmarks, demonstrating that unification does not compromise specialist strengths. AI

    Pelican-Unified 1.0: A Unified Embodied Intelligence Model for Understanding, Reasoning, Imagination and Action

    We present Pelican-Unified 1.0, the first embodied foundation model trained according to the principle of unification. Pelican-Unified 1.0 uses a single VLM as a unified understanding module, mapping scenes, instructions, visual contexts, and action histories into a shared semant…

    World Action Models: The Next Frontier in Embodied AI

    Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have achieved strong semantic generalization for embodied policy learning, yet they learn reactive observation-to-action mappings without explicitly modeling how the physical world evolves under intervention. A growing body of work addresses th…
