Neural World Models

Meta (FAIR) · Released December 2024

Navigation World Models predict what a robot's camera will see after a navigation action, and can plan a route by imagining trajectories before taking them. Code and weights are for non-commercial use.

01 Controls

What you control

  • Past camera frames
  • Navigation actions

02 License

Can you use it commercially?

Non-commercial

No. Hugging Face metadata says CC BY 4.0, but the project README licenses code and weights under CC BY-NC 4.0. The stricter, non-commercial reading is shown.

03 Speed

Does it run in real time?

No real-time claim. The cited sources make no real-time claim.

Figures are the authors' own, with their settings and hardware. They are not comparable across models.

04 Setup

How to run it

  1. 01Clone facebookresearch/nwm and install the packages listed in the README.
  2. 02Download the pretrained model.
  3. 03Use isolated_nwm_infer.py to predict the next view after an action or to follow a recorded trajectory, and isolated_nwm_eval.py to score the results.
