S2-HWM: Sparse Event-Structured Hierarchical World Model for Long-Horizon Surgical Robot Manipulation

Long-horizon surgical robot manipulation is challenging because task rewards are sparse, while meaningful interaction changes occur at irregular intervals. Existing world-model agents typically imagine at primitive-step resolution, leaving variable-duration task progress implicit. Manually specified stages can provide intermediate structure, but their task specific boundaries are difficult to align with state-dependent interaction transitions. We propose S2-HWM, a Sparse Event-Structured Hierarchical World Model that learns sparse event evidence from primitive latent trajectories to coordinate an event-level manager and a primitive-step worker. The event evidence schedules manager goal updates, and each selected latent goal conditions the worker's primitive actions until the next update. The learned event evidence also forms variable-duration segments for an Event Transition Model (ETM), which predicts the next?boundary stochastic state, segment duration, and accumulated segment reward. Chaining these event-level predictions provides a variable-duration continuation beyond the primitive imagination horizon for manager learning, while the worker retains primitive-step actor-critic learning. On a SurRoL-based PegTransfer task, S2-HWM achieves a success rate of 98.7%, outperforming the flat GAS DreamerV3 baseline by 22.7 percentage points.
