Leveraging Video Models for Robotic Control
Cosmos Policy introduces a simple yet powerful approach to adapt large pretrained video models for complex visuomotor control. Instead of intricate multi-stage training or new architectures, it leverages "latent injection" to embed robot-specific modalities directly into the video model's diffusion process.

Enhancing Reliability with Model-Based Planning
Beyond direct policy execution, Cosmos Policy refines its world model and value function through policy rollout data, enabling effective model-based planning to achieve even higher success rates, especially in challenging tasks.
Case Study: Precision in "Put Candy in Ziploc Bag"
The 'Put Candy in Ziploc Bag' task presents a significant challenge due to requirements for high-precision manipulation and multimodal grasp sequences. Initial attempts with the base Cosmos Policy often struggled with maintaining grip on the ziploc bag slider. However, by fine-tuning the model on policy rollout data and leveraging model-based planning, Cosmos Policy was able to predict future states more accurately and avoid these critical errors, leading to a substantial increase in success rate for this complex task.
This demonstrates the power of model-based planning in refining a robot's understanding of its environment and enabling more robust, successful task execution in the face of uncertainty and high dexterity demands.
