SuperMap: A Living Spatial Memory for Embodied AI RSS... 2026 Carnegie Mellon University SuperMap is a living spatial memory for embodied AI. It perceives the world, remembers its evolution, and supports reasoning and action. It is a training-free spatio-temporal SLAM system that builds a persistent semantic world model. It fuses high-frequency geometric SLAM with asynchronous open-vocabulary perception, producing a 4D scene graph: a queryable map carrying spatial and temporal information for every object, enabling visual-language navigation and long-horizon reasoning on real robots.show more

AI’s next frontier is Spatial Intelligence, a technology that... will turn seeing into reasoning, perception into action, and imagination into creation. But what is it? Why does it matter? How do we build it? And how can we use it? Today, I want to share with you my thoughts on building and using world models to unlock spatial intelligence in this essay below. 1/nshow more

🚀New paper out - We present Video-MSG (Multimodal Sketch... Guidance), a novel planning-based training-free guidance method for T2V models, improving control of spatial layout and object trajectories. 🔧 Key idea: • Generate a Video Sketch — a spatio-temporal plan with background, foreground, and motion in the pixel space. • Encode this structure directly into the latent space of the diffusion model during generation, which does not require fine-tuning or additional memory during inference. 🧵show more

DimensionX: Create Any 3D and 4D Scenes from a... Single Image with Controllable Video Diffusion TL;DR: Create 3/4DGS from Video Diffusion Note: Some first inference code released (not all yet). Contributions (cited): • We present DimensionX, a novel framework for generating photorealistic 3D and 4D scenes from only a single image using controllable video diffusion. • We propose ST-Director, which decouples the spatial and temporal priors in video diffusion models by learning (spatial and temporal) dimension-aware modules with our curated datasets. We further enhance the hybriddimension control with a training-free composition approach according to the essence of video diffusion denoising process. • To bridge the gap between video diffusion and real-world scenes, we design a trajectory-aware mechanism for 3D generation and an identity-preserving denoising approach for 4D generation, enabling more realistic and controllable scene synthesis. • Extensive experiments manifest that our DimensionX delivers superior performance in video, 3D, and 4D generation compared with baseline methods.show more

Google 3D Maps aren’t as accurate as you think.... Everyone knows Google dominates mapping—but here’s what they won’t tell you. Their 3D maps are built with car-mounted cameras, capturing images every ~10 meters. That’s fine for basic navigation, but it’s nowhere near enough for AR, robotics, autonomous systems, or AI-driven spatial intelligence. Now, imagine a map so detailed it captures the world at sub-5cm accuracy. That’s OVRMaps. 🌐 OVER 3D maps are built with 400-1,000 images per 300 sqm, taken from multiple angles at pedestrian level. The result? A new era of hyper-precise localization that changes everything. Why does this matter? ↳ VPS that actually works – Real-world AR anchoring, digital twins, and AI-powered spatial computing with pinpoint accuracy. ↳ Next-gen precision – Essential for ride-sharing, robotics, smart cities, and asset tracking—where even a small error makes a huge difference. ↳ AI-Driven Spatial Intelligence – Our maps fuel Large Geo-Spatial Models (LGMs), the AI revolution enabling machines to understand, navigate, and interact with the real world. ↳ The Spatial Computing revolution – Merging immersive experiences with real-world precision, unlocking applications beyond what Google’s dataset can support. OVRMaps are built for the future. 🌍 Start mapping today:show more

A Gaussian Splat can become a world where Robots... and AI agents can act. In our latest OVER Research experiment, we placed a robot inside a real-world 3D capture, with a VLM making decisions based on what it sees. At every step, the robot holds a pose in the reconstruction, gets a newly rendered view of the environment, takes an action, moves, and sees the world again from its new position. Why does this matter? Because 3D captures can become more than reconstructions to explore. They can become environments where embodied AI and robots can navigate, act, be evaluated and eventually train across real-world spaces at scale. Capture a place once. Then turn it into a world where AI and Robots can act. The full experiment, including what we discovered once we actually put the loop to the test:show more

The architecture of this new world model is one... of the most interesting things I've seen lately: Let me first explain how most world models work: They predict and render one frame at a time. If you are navigating in one of these worlds, and you look left, the model draws whatever looks right in the moment. Every time you change your viewpoint, the model has to imagine what should be there again, so it's very common for these models to "forget" what's in the world. For example, if you put a toy on the table, look away, then look back, the toy might not be there anymore. Tripo AI is releasing its Project Eden model, which works very differently: The model builds the world first, and then renders it based on that map. That map holds the real state of the world: the geometry, every object, where things are, what's already happened. The picture you see on screen gets generated from the map. This architecture flips the whole thing. Now, you get the following: 1. The world stops forgetting. Leave, come back, and the toy is still on the table because it lives in the map, not in the last frame you saw. 2. You can edit the world, and those changes persist for anyone who enters later. 3. Multiple people and AI agents can coexist in the world and see it from different perspectives. This is early research, but it's looking really promising. They just raised nearly $200M across two rounds to build it out. Tripo will be at SIGGRAPH 2026 (July 19–23, Los Angeles Convention Center). If you work in 3D, embodied AI, simulation, or anything spatial, go connect with them there.show more

A great day at LEAP East 2026 at HKCEC... building and connecting. Spent time at the Animoca Brands booth discussing Minds by Animoca Brands and the next wave of persistent AI agents. Think persistent AI agents with memory, identity, and on-chain wallets, that's what it was! For us at Rice Robotics, that's an exciting direction. As robots become more autonomous, they'll need persistent digital identities, long-term memory, and the ability to interact with both people and decentralized networks. Oh... and we had an insightful and in-depth discussion with someone pretty special and big 👀 More on that soon🤫show more

The next breakthrough for robot VLMs isn’t a bigger... model 🧠 it’s memory. RAL accepted ✅ We show that a robot can ground a VLM using its own real-world experience, not extra training. EXPTEACH/PRAGMABOT = self-generated memory + closed-loop reflection: Fail → diagnose → replan → succeed → store experience Next time → retrieve the right experience → succeed in one shot Results on real robot tasks: 36% → 84% with reflection (STM) 22% → 80% single-trial success with long-term memory (LTM+RAG) And yes, we saw tool use emerge without explicitly asking for it. If you’re fighting brittle “VLM plans” on hardware, this is for you. #AI #Robotics ANYboticsshow more
