ViSMoE introduces a visual‑aware sparse Mixture‑of‑Experts framework for embodied referring expression grounding, enabling an agent to navigate real environments and localize a target object from natural language instructions. By routing visual information through specialized experts, the method produces discriminative representations for both navigation views and candidate objects, unlike prior approaches that use a single vision encoder. Experiments on the REVERIE and SOON datasets show that ViSMoE surpasses existing state‑of‑the‑art methods.

The paper introduces a progressive training strategy for embodied vision‑language models aimed at reducing spatio‑temporal hallucinations. It first creates a Chain‑of‑Thought dataset that breaks complex reasoning into detailed spatiotemporal steps, then uses supervised pre‑training on this dataset followed by fine‑tuning with weakly‑labeled data. Experiments show the method improves backbone accuracy and narrows the forward‑backward performance gap from over 70% to 6.53%, indicating stronger dynamic reasoning and fewer temporal biases.
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.
