AnchorVLN is an open‑vocabulary vision‑language navigation system that separates semantic proposals from geometric metrics. It uses a VLM to generate semantics while a geometry module supplies reliable metric quantities such as range and bearing, all within a Model Context Protocol server. The system achieves 64.4% on instruction following and improves object‑reference accuracy, reducing median center error from 3.37 m to 2.48 m.

VeriFuse is a bounded arbitration framework that integrates vision‑language models (VLMs) into vehicle‑infrastructure cooperative 3D perception. Each agent first generates independent detections, then VeriFuse creates a unified candidate pool of geometric proposals and cross‑source hypotheses. A frozen VLM selects among three actions—SELECT, REFINE, or REJECT—to resolve ambiguity and produce final 3D detections, achieving strong AP50/AP70 scores on the DAIR‑V2X dataset while keeping vehicle‑side BEV AP50 drop minimal under delay.

arXiv:2606. 09572v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language-action models have shown strong promise for robot manipulation, yet raw language is primarily needed to specify task intent rather than to be repeatedly processed during high-frequency low-level execution.
