MemoryVLN: From Ego-Aware Memory Representation to Cross-Context Memory Reuse in Vision-Language Navigation

MemoryVLN introduces a memory-driven navigation system that compresses long navigation histories and reuses past spatial experience. It uses forgetting-curve-inspired temporal sampling for long sequence compression, an ego-aware memory representation that fuses 2D semantic, 3D geometric, and 6D pose tokens, and a hierarchical memory bank for in-episode and context-level memory management. The system retrieves top‑K relevant memories to augment current visual tokens, achieving significant improvements on R2R‑CE and RxR‑CE benchmarks.

Linguistic Trajectory Encoding for Efficient Long-Horizon Spatial Memory in Embodied Agents

The paper introduces Linguistic Trajectory Encoding (LTE), a hybrid representation that compresses dynamic object motion histories using natural language descriptions, sparse spatial anchors, and visual anchors. LTE adapts compression to motion complexity by anchoring periods without reliable observations to the last seen location while preserving accuracy with geometric waypoints and linguistic descriptions. Evaluated on the newly constructed Spatial Memory Benchmark (SMB) from EgoLife multi‑day recordings, LTE achieves 45.3 % success in semantic trajectory retrieval and 48.7 % in long‑horizon object retrieval, outperforming prior structured‑memory and VLM baselines, and compresses trajectories 8.7×–26.1× with sub‑second query latency on 24‑hour video.

LT-Mem: Volatility-Aware Spatio-Temporal Memory for Lifelong Scene Understanding

LT-Mem introduces a volatility‑aware memory evolution framework for lifelong scene understanding, combining spatially aligned instance‑level 3D perception with temporal reasoning. It uses a multi‑session SLAM backbone, a reasoning layer that scores evidence and selects memory actions, and a Tri‑Memory structure (Live, Delta, Meta) to preserve current states and event histories. The accompanying LT‑VQA dataset provides multi‑session recordings, persistent identity annotations, and temporal QA pairs, and experiments show LT‑Mem outperforms baselines while using far fewer tokens.

When Plans Change, Remember: Replanning-Guided Visual Memory for Vision-Language-Action Models

The paper introduces RePlanMem-VLA, a selective visual memory system for Vision‑Language‑Action models that uses a policy’s own plan revisions as an online memory‑write signal. By detecting unusually large disagreements between temporally aligned action predictions, the method identifies task‑relevant events and updates a bounded visual memory while suppressing redundant frames. Experiments on MIKASA‑Robo‑VLA tasks and real‑robot replay data show that RePlanMem‑VLA retains essential observations in every episode and achieves high ROC‑AUC scores for event detection.
