Can Robots Predict the Future? They Kinda Can Now

Welcome to a new episode of Unity’s BotCast, where we explore the edge of what’s possible with AI and robotics, and sometimes get a little weird with it.

In this episode, we explore a wild breakthrough: robots that can actually simulate the future before they act. Yup, thanks to something called a “World Model,” they’re learning to visualize what might happen before picking up a mug or opening your favorite snack drawer.

We’re talking ninety percent prediction accuracy, virtual training grounds, and yes… a small kitchen disaster involving an air fryer.

But it’s not just about cool tech. This is a big step toward something deeper. Robots that can actually understand the messy, unpredictable beauty of human life and help us in real, meaningful ways.

Watch the full episode below and join us as we imagine a future where robots don’t just follow instructions. They think ahead.
