RW-Voice-EQ Bench: A Real World Benchmark for Evaluating Voice AI Systems

arXiv:2607. 14846v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Current voice AI benchmarks typically evaluate isolated capabilities such as speech intelligibility, word error rate, or text-based dialogue quality, but they rarely test whether systems harness the acoustic information that distinguishes spoken language from its textual representation.

SafeRelBench: A Spatial-Relation-Aware Benchmark for Process-Level Safety in VLM-Driven Embodied Agents

arXiv:2607. 14543v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) are increasingly used as the reasoning backbone of embodied agents, enabling robots to interpret visual scenes, follow language instructions, and plan multi-step actions.

StructureClaw: Traceable LLM Agents and an Executable Benchmark for Structural Engineering Workflows

arXiv:2607. 14896v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Addressing a structural-engineering request requires more than a single answer; it requires a chain of interdependent artifacts: interpreted requirements, a computable model, validation records, solver outputs, code-check records, and a final report.

Never Too Late for Force: Accelerating VLA Post-Training with Reactive Force Injection

arXiv:2607. 14236v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Pretrained vision-language-action (VLA) policies provide strong language-conditioned manipulation knowledge, but they remain largely vision-driven and can struggle once manipulation enters contact states where the scene is occluded, depth is ambiguous, or small force errors push execution off the offline demonstration distribution.

FoMoVLA: Bridging Visual Foresight and Motion Guidance for Vision-Language-Action Models

arXiv:2607. 14739v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have achieved impressive results in visuomotor policy learning, yet remain fundamentally reactive, mapping current observations and language to actions without explicit forward prediction of world dynamics.
