PhysisForcing: Physics Reinforced World Simulator for Robotic Manipulation

arXiv:2606.28128v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Video generation models have emerged as a promising paradigm for embodied world simulation. However, both general-domain video generators and robot-specific data fine-tuned models can still produce physically implausible manipulations, including discontinuous motion trajectories and inconsistent robot-object interactions, which limits their reliability as world simulators. Through extensive experiments, we find that such physical instability mainly arises from two factors: deformation of moving objects and implausible spatio-temporal correlatio

Why this matters
Why now

Advances in video generation models and the increasing demand for reliable robotic manipulation simulations are driving the need for more physically accurate world simulators.
