XPolicyLab: A Unified Standard and Open Ecosystem for Robot Policy Evaluation and Deployment

Robot policy evaluation and deployment remain fragmented by model-specific software dependencies, data representations, and runtime interfaces, so that connecting N policies to M evaluation environments requires O(NM) separate integrations. We present XPolicyLab, a unified standard and open ecosystem that reduces this cost to O(N+M). XPolicyLab specifies common observation, action, and trajectory schemas together with a minimal adapter interface for observation updates, action prediction, batched execution, and episode reset, while a dependency-isolated client/server architecture separates policy inference from environment execution, so that each side retains its native software stack and may run locally or remotely. The ecosystem integrates 42 robot policies and standardizes their installation, debugging, serving, and evaluation workflows. Across these adapters, model-specific code varies by an order of magnitude while the environment-facing loop stays within a few lines of a fixed reference, confirming that the contract confines heterogeneity to the policy side. In a controlled study, conforming to the standard reduces the integration effort of a representative policy from over five hours to two hours, and packaged agent skills reduce it further to thirty minutes. The same adapters serve RoboTwin, RoboDojo simulation, and standardized real-robot evaluation through one interface. XPolicyLab is released as shared infrastructure for reproducible policy comparison and standardized deployment across simulation and physical platforms.

GaussianWAM: Distilling Geometry and Semantics from 3D Gaussian Fields into World-Action Models

World-Action Models (WAMs) jointly learn future visual prediction and action generation, using video dynamics as a representation-learning signal for robotic manipulation. However, their video latents are primarily optimized for visual prediction and are not explicitly encouraged to preserve cross-view geometric structure or spatially localized, object-relevant semantics. We propose \textbf{GaussianWAM}, a training-time representation-enhancement framework that organizes geometric and semantic supervision through a 3D Gaussian field. Given synchronized multi-view observations, frozen geometry and vision foundation models provide depth, camera parameters, and dense semantic features. GaussianWAM binds these heterogeneous signals to shared Gaussian primitives and renders spatially aligned semantic, depth, and coverage targets, which are distilled into the current-observation representations of the WAM. All teacher models, Gaussian components, and auxiliary prediction heads are removed after training, leaving the original WAM inference path without additional modules or forward computation. On LIBERO-Plus, GaussianWAM improves FastWAM from 52.05\% to 71.29\% and Cosmos Policy from 71.52\% to 77.30\%. Direct CLIP and VGGT distillation already establishes a strong FastWAM baseline of 69.37\%, while Gaussian-field unification further improves it to 71.29\%, supporting the benefit of spatially organizing heterogeneous teacher signals. GaussianWAM also improves performance on standard LIBERO and shows positive transfer trends on RoboTwin and real-world manipulation. These results suggest that training-time Gaussian distillation provides a practical way to inject geometry- and semantics-related supervision into WAM representations without changing their deployment architecture.
