SCoTT: Strategic Chain-of-Thought Tasking for Wireless-Aware Robot Navigation in Digital Twins

arXiv — cs.LGWednesday, November 12, 2025 at 5:00:00 AM
The introduction of SCoTT marks a significant advancement in robot navigation, particularly under wireless performance constraints. Traditional path planning methods often struggle with high computational costs when integrating such constraints. SCoTT addresses this by leveraging vision-language models to optimize both path gains and trajectory lengths using data from digital twins. In comparative studies, SCoTT demonstrated its effectiveness by achieving path gains within 2% of the optimal DP-WA* algorithm while consistently producing shorter trajectories. Additionally, SCoTT's design allows it to accelerate the DP-WA* algorithm by reducing its search space, leading to execution time savings of up to 62%. This dual focus on performance and efficiency positions SCoTT as a promising solution for future robotic navigation applications, particularly in complex environments where wireless communication is critical.

Abstract 3D Perception for Spatial Intelligence in Vision-Language Models
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
Vision-language models (VLMs) face challenges in 3D tasks such as spatial cognition and physical understanding, essential for applications in robotics and embodied agents. This difficulty arises from a modality gap between 3D tasks and the 2D training of VLMs, leading to inefficient retrieval of 3D information. To address this, the SandboxVLM framework is introduced, utilizing abstract bounding boxes to enhance geometric structure and physical kinematics, resulting in improved spatial intelligence and an 8.3% performance gain on the SAT Real benchmark.
Binary Verification for Zero-Shot Vision
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
A new training-free binary verification workflow for zero-shot vision has been proposed, utilizing off-the-shelf Vision Language Models (VLMs). The workflow consists of two main steps: quantization, which converts open-ended queries into multiple-choice questions (MCQs), and binarization, which evaluates candidates with True/False questions. This method has been evaluated across various tasks, including referring expression grounding and spatial reasoning, showing significant improvements in performance compared to traditional open-ended query methods.
