Decoupling Planning and Control for Instructable Agents

Recent work shows that pre-trained, instruction-tuned vision-language models (VLMs) perform well at mapping from instructions and observations to high-level plans, but struggle to realize such plans as reliable low-latency action sequences in unfamiliar environments. At the same time, world-model controllers excel at fast observation-to-action control, but lack open-ended task guidance. In this work, we combine these strengths into a single system, Instruct-to-Act, where we train a world-model controller to act autonomously at high frequency when conditioned on sparse, higher-latency, and high
