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:2512. 23020v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: 3D visual grounding aims to locate objects based on natural language descriptions in 3D scenes.

arXiv:2607. 13621v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Language-guided human following is an important capability for embodied agents, but existing benchmarks typically assume that the target person is visible at the start of an episode.
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.
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.
