Agentic Hazard Mapper: Emulating Expert Map-Making with AI Agents for Risk Communication

Agentic Hazard Mapper is a multi‑agent system that automates the creation of hazard maps by emulating professional cartographic workflows and design trade‑offs. The system adapts its design decisions to varying data, locations, and hazard contexts, and was evaluated through a formative study with map experts and a user study with hazard practitioners. Results showed that the generated maps improved spatial understanding and evacuation‑planning performance, reduced perceived workload and task completion time, and were generally preferred over municipal maps.

Human-AI Coordination Zones: A Framework for Designing Human-in-the-Loop Experiences with Agentic AI

arXiv:2606. 09848v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As generative and agentic AI becomes embedded in everyday products, practitioners face a persistent challenge: how to design human-AI coordination -- the ongoing mutual adjustment between users and AI systems as mediate through interfaces-that supports usability, trust, and safety.

Guide Me Out: A Framework to Benchmark VLM Operators Communication in Crisis Scenarios

Effective crisis response requires spatially grounded communication that bridges linguistic guidance of civilians with the physical environment, accounting for structural bottlenecks, evolving threats, and agent-specific contexts. Yet, current NLP research in crisis communication remains mainly limited to static, text-only classification settings, overlooking the critical communicative role of AI operators in dynamic, embodied scenarios.

ANASSA: An Agentic AI Orchestration Framework for Spatial Intelligence

The paper introduces ANASSA, an agentic AI orchestration framework designed for spatial intelligence in geographic information systems. It addresses gaps in current systems by integrating structured spatial reasoning, multi‑agent workflow orchestration, execution feedback, authoritative validation, provenance, uncertainty handling, and human decision authority. The architecture is detailed with eleven components across four layers, a six‑step Geospatial AI Cognitive Loop, cross‑component contracts, and governance mechanisms to ensure traceability, reproducibility, and accountability.

MAPF-World: Action World Model for Multi-Agent Path Finding

MAPF-World introduces an autoregressive action world model for multi‑agent path finding that predicts short‑horizon local observations and neighboring agents’ action intentions, enabling decisions beyond immediate local views. The model incorporates a spatio‑agent positional encoding within Transformer architectures to enhance spatial awareness and agent semantics, fostering coordinated behaviors. Experiments on diverse maps, including a new automated map generator based on real‑world urban layouts, show that MAPF‑World outperforms existing learned solvers, achieving strong performance, robust zero‑shot generalization, and high success rates even at high agent densities.

Mine Odyssey: Benchmarking Spatial Agentic Intelligence in the Wild

Mine Odyssey is a new benchmark that tests agentic spatial intelligence by having agents navigate Minecraft reconstructions of real-world locations. The benchmark includes 180 tasks across 30 sites in 20 countries, featuring 20 outdoor and 10 indoor settings with varied scales, layouts, and terrains. Each task gives a natural‑language instruction to visit specific waypoints in order, requiring agents to find routes, open doors, and manage navigation errors.
