Aero-World: Action-Conditioned Aerial Video Generation from Inertial Controls
Foundation video models produce visually impressive results, but their use in embodied AI remains limited because they are primarily trained on natural language rather than low-level control signals. This limitation is especially pronounced for aerial flight, where motion occurs in unconstrained 6-DoF space and small errors in ego-motion can produce large trajectory drift. Generating aerial videos that follow fine-grained inertial actions can support scalable training and evaluation of aerial agents by providing a controllable proxy for real-world or expensive simulation data. To address this problem, we propose \textbf{Aero-World}, a method for converting a pretrained image-to-video diffusion model into a controllable aerial video generator. Aero-World injects sequences of translational acceleration and angular velocity into a pretrained latent diffusion transformer through an action-token stream. A frozen latent-space Physics Probe, trained independently on real video--IMU pairs, provides differentiable inertial-consistency supervision during LoRA finetuning while avoiding computationally expensive video decoding. We further propose \textbf{AeroBench}, a benchmark for evaluating whether generated drone videos adhere to low-level action signals. AeroBench uses Action Alignment Score (AAS) to measure agreement with commanded inertial actions and Physical Consistency Rate (PCR) to measure temporal motion stability. On AeroBench, Aero-World improves mean AAS from 57.7 to 63.6 over action-only finetuning and gives a stronger quality-control trade-off than AirScape, with lower FVD (596.5 vs. 1058.6), higher SSIM (0.595 vs. 0.505), and higher Flow-IMU correlation (0.44 vs. 0.20). These results suggest that frozen Physics Probe supervision is a practical mechanism for adapting pretrained video generators toward more action-aligned aerial motion.
