  "summary": "Dexterous manipulation depends on contact dynamics that are often only partially observable from vision. Recent World-Action Models (WAMs) couple predictive video world modeling with action generation, but remain largely vision-centric and therefore cannot directly model these contact dynamics. We present DexTacWAM, a visuo-tactile WAM that encodes each fingertip independently, aggregates the…",
