The paper introduces Embodied Semantic Communication (ESC), a new paradigm that redefines information transmission for autonomous agents by embedding multimodal perceptual states, hardware capabilities, and collaborative intents into unified, action‑oriented semantic representations. ESC enables heterogeneous agents to parse, align, and ground shared information directly into local motor control, addressing the limitations of traditional communication approaches that focus solely on bit delivery or single‑task optimization. The tutorial outlines ESC’s conceptual boundaries, system characteristics, and technical pathways, mapping relevant mathematical tools such as semantic information theory, world models, and multi‑agent decision theory, and concludes with a roadmap of open challenges like semantic reliability, dynamic interaction, and bandwidth‑adaptive transmission.
arXiv:2607. 03283v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Embodied intelligence systems require not only end-to-end policy models, but also reusable functional modules that transform multimodal observations, robot states, human demonstrations, and task contexts into structured representations, decisions, trajectories, control references, and system services.

Artificial general intelligence ultimately requires agents that can reason and act in the physical world. Action models, vision-language-action policies, and world models have advanced this goal, while World Action Models (WAMs) are particularly promising because they connect candidate interventions with predicted consequences.

Building persistent embodied agents in unstructured environments demands unified orchestration of heterogeneous tools spanning both cyber (APIs, IoT) and physical (manipulation, navigation) domains, coupled with autonomous recovery from physical failures that inevitably arise over extended operation. Existing systems treat these as separate problems: VLM-based planners lack a unified cyber-physical action space, agent frameworks accumulate unbounded context that degrades temporal coherence, and VLA policies execute open-loop without detecting their own failures.

The paper reviews the evolution of multi‑agent unmanned systems from isolated sensing to collaborative intelligence, where agents share compact features to overcome local observation limits such as occlusions and sensor range. It introduces a five‑dimensional taxonomy (collaboration stage, communication paradigm, fusion architecture, learning strategy, application domain) and three cognitive synergy conditions (Semantic Disambiguation, Pragmatic Information Exchange, Proactive Informational Foraging) to unify existing research. The authors survey architectures, neural‑communication co‑design, embodied action‑perception loops, and resilience mechanisms, map advances onto operational domains (V2X, UAV, logistics, smart cities), and propose the GCI‑Bench scoring protocol to standardize evaluation across studies.
Building capable embodied agents requires not only multimodal perception and understanding, but also agentic capabilities for reasoning about actions, adapting to evolving situations, and interacting with the physical world. In this report, we introduce Hy-Embodied-VLM-1.
