Noisy Worlds

Two-Room
Push-T
OGBench-Cube

Same task. More distractors.

Configurable Perception

Input Observation

Decoded State
Recorded Two-Room decoded state for the Green task query

Same observation. Different task. Different state.

Recorded decoding results, not live inference. Two-Room, Green query.

How ConfigWM Works

Configure perception. Learn task-relevant dynamics.

Planning in Noisy Worlds

More distraction. Robust planning.

Real-World Perception

Use both hands to pick up a dinosaur on the right side and move it to the left side.
