SpatialClaw: Rethinking Action Interface for Agentic Spatial Reasoning

arXiv:2606. 13673v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Spatial reasoning, the ability to determine where objects are, how they relate, and how they move in 3D, remains a fundamental challenge for vision-language models (VLMs).

SpatialQuery: Benchmarking Geometry-Grounded Multi-Instance Spatial Reasoning in Vision-Language Models

Vision-language models (VLMs) achieve strong semantic understanding but remain unreliable in metric spatial reasoning, particularly when queries require comparing multiple instances of the same object category. We study this problem through the Closest-Instance Distance Query (CIDQ), where a model must identify the nearest visible candidate to a unique reference object and estimate their gravity-aligned floor-plane distance.

AnchorVLN: Geometry-Anchored Vision-Language Grounding Reasoning for Open-Vocabulary Navigation

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.
