Researchers have developed TAPESTRY, a novel approach that unifies video generation and robot control using a single Transformer backbone. This method treats robot actions as tokens within the video model's latent space, enabling efficient control without requiring full video generation at inference time. TAPESTRY leverages diffusion objectives for video, joint video+action, and action-only diffusion to optimize the shared backbone, achieving strong performance with significantly reduced inference costs on both simulated and real-world robotic tasks.
