arXiv:2606. 02463v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In 3D environments, Embodied Agents answer spatially relevant questions through reasoning from a mixture of modalities including natural language, RGB images, point clouds, depth maps and camera poses.
arXiv:2605. 05407v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Scaling LLM-based embodied agents from text-only environments to complex multimodal settings remains a major challenge.
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.
arXiv:2607. 06620v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) struggle to bridge the representational gap between 2D semantic understanding and 3D spatial geometry.
arXiv:2606. 16898v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Detecting unanswerable user queries remains essential for the reliable deployment of real-world embodied agents.
Vision-language models commonly project all tokens produced by a pretrained vision encoder into a large language model. However, final-layer features can discard text, local attributes, and spatial relationships, while high-resolution inputs substantially increase context length and inference latency.
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.
Embodied Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models are typically obtained by fine-tuning powerful pretrained VLMs on robotics data, yet it is unclear how much commonsense and factual knowledge they retain after adaptation. Failures on knowledge-sensitive tasks are ambiguous, conflating missing knowledge with poor generalization of low-level control.
arXiv:2606. 29579v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Spatial reasoning remains a persistent challenge for many vision language models (VLMs), and improving it typically requires fine-tuning with substantial additional parameters.
Reliable evaluation of human motion understanding is fundamental to advancing embodied AI, robotics, and animation. However, existing benchmarks suffer from coarse semantic granularity, undifferentiated difficulty, limited annotation quality, and pervasive answer ambiguity, leaving them unable to diagnose where current models fail.
