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).

GaussVLA: Geometry-Aware Spatial Reasoning for Vision-Language-Action Model

GaussVLA is a Vision‑Language‑Action model that enhances spatial reasoning by converting flat 2D visual tokens into compact 3D Gaussian tokens using a Gaussian Spatial Tokenizer. It further employs a Depth‑Aware Chain‑of‑Thought module to perform structured, non‑autoregressive geometric reasoning conditioned on language and flow‑time. In both simulated and real‑world tests, GaussVLA achieves high spatial‑manipulation success rates—93.5% on LIBERO and 100% on the Spatial suite—while using only 200 M parameters, outperforming SpatialVLA by 19.7% relative success.

SpatialCLI: Learning to Reason With Spatial Tools, Then Without Them

arXiv:2607. 27703v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) are increasingly used in embodied agents to interpret visual inputs, reason about spatial relationships, and make task-level decisions based on that reasoning.
