Uranus: Building the Next-Generation Simulation Infrastructure for Embodied AI
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.24815v2 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Scalable simulation is essential for robot data generation, policy training, evaluation, and safe iteration, yet real-world interaction is costly and conventional simulators require labor-intensive construction. We present Uranus, a data-driven robot simulator built around a joint-trajectory-conditioned autoregressive diffusion model. Uranus offers three key capabilities: (1) streaming, open-ended rollout, which receives future joint-position trajectories online and autoregressively generates one latent frame per step, corresponding to four RGB
