Autonomous logistics sorting systems (ALSS) are an important industrial application of embodied AI, which requires joint planning over spatially disjoint camera views. We formulate this setting as Joint Multi-Scene Understanding (JMSU).

arXiv:2606. 04046v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In embodied vision-language decision making tasks such as robotic manipulation and navigation, Vision-Language and Vision-Language-Action Models (VLMs & VLAs) are powerful tools with different benefits: VLMs are better at long-term planning, while VLAs are better at reactive control.

The paper introduces VGEBench, a new benchmark for evaluating Vision‑Language Models (VLMs) on generalizable, visually grounded exploration of household devices. Unlike existing datasets that rely on static images or annotated trajectories, VGEBench employs a logic‑driven state machine to simulate multi‑turn interaction loops, requiring agents to actively perceive, act, and refine their actions to achieve goals. Experiments show that current VLMs struggle to translate semantic knowledge into physical execution and to maintain long‑horizon state tracking.

arXiv:2510. 01483v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) demonstrate strong image-level scene understanding, but reasoning over long egocentric video remains costly: because VLMs maintain no persistent memory or explicit spatial representation, all sampled frames must be re-processed for every new query.
Vision-language-action (VLA) models aim to map multimodal inputs to robot actions. However, most existing approaches struggle to cover complex dynamic scenarios due to treating all visual tokens uniformly and reasoning with human-selected factors, which lack mechanisms to emphasize task-critical evidence and ignore underlying factors.

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are promising for construction-site monitoring, and recent construction-tailored VLMs have primarily adapted pretrained VLMs through direct QA-style fine-tuning from a single global image. We argue that this direct paradigm remains limited for in-the-wild deployment in terms of operational range, reliability under reduced-resolution inputs, and inference efficiency.
