Knowing Where to Look: Interactive Object Search via Spatial-Semantic Fusion

Knowing Where to Look: Interactive Object Search via Spatial-Semantic Fusion

Summary

This paper introduces a system that combines semantic intuition from vision-language models with geometric spatial awareness using Bayesian log-odds filtering to create a unified 3D voxel belief field. The system drives action selection for viewing, navigating, or interacting with objects on a bimanual mobile humanoid, demonstrating improved performance over existing geometry-only and language-model-based search methods.

Editorial context

The authors propose a unified 3D voxel belief field that fuses VLM plausibility scores with geometric occupancy evidence to improve interactive object search on a bimanual mobile humanoid, claiming outperformance over geometry-only and LLM-based baselines; however, the abstract does not specify quantitative metrics, test environments, or safety evaluations.
