Why Robots Shouldn’t Dream in Pixels: Introducing μ₀’s 3D Interaction Traces as a Physical Language

The article argues that pixel‑level world models are too low‑level and costly for robotics, proposes the μ₀ representation—compact 3D interaction traces that capture object, tool and contact dynamics—demonstrates its training pipeline, experimental speed and success rates, and suggests it as a scalable, interpretable physical language for embodied agents.
