Dual-Layer Semantic-Spatial Belief Mapping for Aerial Object Goal Navigation
The paper introduces AeroBelief, a dual‑layer semantic‑spatial belief mapping framework for aerial object goal navigation. It separates broad contextual plausibility (intuition layer) from target‑specific evidence (evidence layer) and fuses them into persistent spatial belief hotspots. The method also employs object‑conditioned visual reasoning and egocentric regional guidance, achieving state‑of‑the‑art success rates on the UAV‑ON benchmark.

VABench: Measuring Embodied Spatial Intelligence through Visual Demonstrations, Active Perception, and Metric Control
VABench is a benchmark that tests general‑purpose multimodal large language models (MLLMs) on embodied spatial intelligence by requiring them to observe, reason, act, and revise based on visual demonstrations and active perception. The benchmark includes 14 task families, a fixed model‑agnostic controller, and evaluates models on target localization, spatial relations, and long‑horizon composition tracks without providing privileged object poses or learned action heads. Results show that while the best model achieves perfect target localization, overall task success remains modest, and active camera control and geometric transfer significantly influence performance.

Dual-Layer Semantic-Spatial Belief Mapping for Aerial Object Goal Navigation
The paper introduces AeroBelief, a dual‑layer semantic‑spatial belief mapping framework for aerial object goal navigation. It separates broad contextual plausibility (intuition layer) from target‑specific evidence (evidence layer) and fuses them into persistent spatial belief hotspots, while also employing object‑conditioned visual reasoning and temporally stable regional guidance. Experiments on the UAV‑ON benchmark show AeroBelief outperforms prior methods in success rate, object success rate, and SPL.
