Prompt-Guided Spatial Understanding with RGB-D Transformers for Fine-Grained Object Relation Reasoning
Spatial reasoning in large-scale 3D environments such as warehouses remains a significant challenge for vision-language systems due to scene clutter, occlusions, and the need for precise spatial understanding. Existing models often struggle with generalization in such settings, as they rely heavily on local appearance and lack explicit spatial grounding. In this work, we introduce a dedicated spatial reasoning framework for the Physical AI Spatial Intelligence Warehouse dataset introduced in th…

Spatial Forcing: Implicit Spatial Representation Alignment for Vision-language-action Model
Vision-language-action (VLA) models have recently shown strong potential in enabling robots to follow language instructions and execute precise actions. However, most VLAs are built upon vision-language models pretrained solely on 2D data, which lack accurate spatial awareness and hinder their ability to operate in the 3D physical world. Existing solutions attempt to incorporate explicit 3D sensor inputs such as depth maps or point clouds, but these approaches face challenges due to sensor nois…

Spatial two-grid compact difference scheme for two-dimensional nonlinear diffusion-wave equations with variable exponent
This paper presents a spatial two-grid (STG) compact difference scheme for a two-dimensional (2D) nonlinear diffusion-wave equation with variable exponent, which describes, e.g., the propagation of mechanical diffusive waves in viscoelastic media with varying material properties. Following the idea of the convolution approach, the diffusion-wave model is first transformed into an equivalent formulation. A fully discrete scheme is then developed by applying a compact difference approximation in …

AURORA, The Colorado city spotlighted by Trump & MAGA as being overrun by Venezuelan gangs, booted the republican council members who echoed the claims, bigly, and elected 2 progressives in their place, tipping the longstanding conservative majority.
Gifted article. #progressivepolitics

Trump said gangs invaded this city. Voters booted the officials who agreed.
Liberals who won in Aurora, Colorado, say voters were focused on affordability, trash and other local issues.

Valves and Bandcamp are two companies that are on the spotlight for doing good things (mostly by NOT entering the AI train)
I am happy for them and their users.
But both are for profits and have a CEO who either is already very rich or aim to become so.
I am also a satisfied customer of both those companies. but be attentive. Things can change very quickly!

T(R,O) Grasp: Efficient Graph Diffusion of Robot-Object Spatial Transformation for Cross-Embodiment Dexterous Grasping
Dexterous grasping remains a central challenge in robotics due to the complexity of its high-dimensional state and action space. We introduce T(R,O) Grasp, a diffusion-based framework that efficiently generates accurate and diverse grasps across multiple robotic hands. At its core is the T(R,O) Graph, a unified representation that models spatial transformations between robotic hands and objects while encoding their geometric properties. A graph diffusion model, coupled with an efficient inverse…

MMOT: The First Challenging Benchmark for Drone-based Multispectral Multi-Object Tracking
Drone-based multi-object tracking is essential yet highly challenging due to small targets, severe occlusions, and cluttered backgrounds. Existing RGB-based tracking algorithms heavily depend on spatial appearance cues such as color and texture, which often degrade in aerial views, compromising reliability. Multispectral imagery, capturing pixel-level spectral reflectance, provides crucial cues that enhance object discriminability under degraded spatial conditions. However, the lack of dedicate…
