• Abstract: Vision-language-action (VLA) policies have advanced language-conditioned robotic manipulation by transferring semantic priors from pretrained vision-language models to action generation. Yet, standard action-imitation training often provides limited explicit supervision for 3D geometry, dense visual structure, and short-horizon environment evolution, which are critical for physically precise manipulation. We introduce \textbf{GaussianDream}, a feed-forward 3D Gaussian world-model plug-in that turns robot trajectories into structured spatial-temporal supervision. The key idea is to couple current Gaussian reconstruction with horizon-conditioned future Gaussian prediction during training, forcing a compact spatio-temporal prefix to be decodable into renderable 3D Gaussian states. This enables dense RGB rendering, depth, and pseudo 3D scene-flow supervision without requiring test-time Gaussian decoding. At inference, GaussianDream discards all auxiliary decoding heads and retains only the learned prefix to condition action generation, avoiding rendering, video rollout, or additional planning during closed-loop control. Experiments on LIBERO, RoboCasa Human-50, and real-robot tasks demonstrate strong and highly competitive performance, achieving \textbf{98.4\%} average success on LIBERO, \textbf{52.6\%} on RoboCasa Human-50, and \textbf{50.0\%} in real-world evaluation.

Our model is fully unsupervised, captures the nature of the real world, and the observational cues in image and point cloud domains constitute its learning signals. To the best of our knowledge, our model is the first generative model that provides an RGB-D video prediction of the future for a static camera.
