arXiv:2606. 03609v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Embodied agents that navigate cities rely on world models that predict how their surroundings will change as they move.
arXiv:2606. 08952v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal Foundation Models (MFMs) have made substantial progress, yet remain fragile in spatial reasoning over the physical world.
arXiv:2606. 00095v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language Navigation (VLN) enables embodied agents to reach target locations in unseen environments by following language instructions.
arXiv:2608. 08814v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present 360CityArena, a benchmark for evaluating the urban exploration capabilities of embodied agents within a photorealistic environment constructed from 360-degree videos.
arXiv:2606. 05833v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) excel at 2D semantic understanding but lack intrinsic 3D awareness, resulting in representations that fail to maintain geometric and spatial consistency across video frames.
arXiv:2606. 06147v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: End-to-end Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have shown promise in UAV navigation.
arXiv:2608. 05242v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this work, we explore an alternative paradigm for spatial reasoning by explicitly disentangling 3D perception from reasoning, rather than jointly acquiring implicit 3D perception and reasoning through large-scale training.
arXiv:2608. 12743v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Spatial intelligence is becoming a foundation for embodied agents, robotic planning, and multimodal assistants.
arXiv:2606. 19253v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing approaches to 3D scene understanding in Vision-Language Models (VLMs) either rely on complex, model-specific geometry encoders or large training budgets in pursuit of spatial reasoning.
In this work, we explore an alternative paradigm for spatial reasoning by explicitly disentangling 3D perception from reasoning, rather than jointly acquiring implicit 3D perception and reasoning through large-scale training. Our key observation is that modern perception models excel at estimating continuous 3D geometry, whereas large language models (LLMs) are particularly effective at compositional and symbolic reasoning.
arXiv:2606. 17539v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Spatial VLMs have made substantial progress in geometric perception, yet complex spatial reasoning requiring multi-step inference over depth, distance, and scene relations remains challenging.
arXiv:2606. 13673v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Spatial reasoning, the ability to determine where objects are, how they relate, and how they move in 3D, remains a fundamental challenge for vision-language models (VLMs).
arXiv:2606. 31329v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hierarchical Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models decouple high-level planning from low-level control to improve generalization in robot manipulation.
