Visual Cue Guided Video Planning for Generalizable Robot Navigation

CueNav is a video model-based navigation framework that uses visual cues—a Bird's-Eye View map for global task context and a body-aware egocentric view for embodiment context—to guide a video planner. The framework couples this planner with an embodiment-specific Inverse-Dynamics Model that translates dense flow fields from the video plan into robot actions. Experiments show that CueNav nearly doubles maze navigation success compared to cue-less planning and achieves 70% success in narrow passages, while also supporting zero-shot semantic-conditioned navigation across different robot platforms.

Think3D: Thinking with Space for Spatial Reasoning

Think3D introduces a framework that endows Vision‑Language Models with interactive 3D chain‑of‑thought reasoning by integrating 3D manipulation tools for active spatial exploration. The approach improves performance on benchmarks such as BLINK Multi‑view, MindCube‑1K, and VSI‑Bench‑Tiny for proprietary models like GPT‑4.1 and Gemini 2.5 Pro, and a reinforcement‑learning variant, Think3D‑RL, enables open‑weight models such as Qwen3‑VL‑4B to autonomously learn effective 3D exploration strategies, yielding tool‑use patterns comparable to stronger models and turning a performance drop on MindCube‑1K into a substantial improvement.
