Uranus: Building the Next-Generation Simulation Infrastructure for Embodied AI
Abstract
Scalable simulation is essential for robot data generation, policy training, evaluation, and safe iteration, yet real-world interaction is costly and conventional simulators require labor-intensive construction. We present Uranus, a data-driven robot simulator built around a joint-trajectory-conditioned autoregressive diffusion model. Uranus offers three key capabilities: (1) streaming, open-ended rollout, which receives future joint-position trajectories online and autoregressively generates one latent frame per step, corresponding to four RGB frames, without a fixed horizon; (2) low-latency generation, achieving 24 FPS after inference optimization; and (3) scalable, extensible robot control, providing a unified interface for synchronized multi-view generation across diverse robot embodiments and camera configurations. We conduct comprehensive quantitative and qualitative evaluations on both in-distribution and out-of-distribution data, providing an objective assessment of Uranus and clearly identifying its current limitations. We release the code and model weights to empower the community with practical tools and insights.

๐ Uranus: a data-driven robot simulator built around a joint-trajectory conditioned autoregressive diffusion model.
๐ Streaming, open-ended rollout
Uranus takes future joint-position trajectories online and autoregressively generates one latent frame per step โ four RGB frames per camera โ with no fixed horizon. Simulation that runs as long as the policy needs.
๐ค One interface, every robot
A unified control interface supports synchronized multi-view generation across single-arm, dual-arm, and humanoid embodiments, with arbitrary fixed or moving camera configurations
