SafeVantage: Vantage-Aware Memory for Reliable Embodied Decisions

Reliable embodied decisions under partial observability require informative observations and sufficient supporting evidence. However, semantic scores alone do not reveal which viewpoints justify a claim or where additional evidence should be acquired. We introduce SafeVantage, a vantage-aware semantic memory and active acquisition framework that retains each claim's supporting views, camera poses, and estimated target location, keeping positive support distinct from search coverage. A learned candidate-observability model uses claim-grounded geometry to predict target visibility at reachable viewpoints. These predictions guide view selection through expected reduction in terminal decision loss, accounting for travel cost and geometrically distinct corroboration. A calibrated head then combines support, spatial consistency, and coverage to produce Yes, No, or Abstain decisions. We evaluate SafeVantage on a category-presence benchmark spanning 232 unseen ProcTHOR houses and 7,424 paired episodes per method and action budget. Compared with validation-selected equal-budget baselines, SafeVantage achieves macro-F1 gains of 24.7% and 12.0% at eight and twelve actions, respectively, with lower risk and higher answer rates at both budgets and 31.7% less travel at eight actions. Equal-input HM3D experiments show lower selective risk under fixed observations, while controlled ScanNet interventions show that restoring supporting views improves downstream VLM answers. Ablations further support the contribution of candidate observability to decision quality and acquisition efficiency. Results demonstrate the value of claim-level viewpoint evidence for connecting semantic memory, active acquisition, and reliable decision-making. Code is available at https://safevantage.github.io

CoEM: Empowering Long-Context Reasoning with Commit-on-Evidence Memory

Long-context reasoning is essential for complex and long-horizon tasks, yet the performance of large language models (LLMs) degrades as context length increases. Recent approaches address this by processing input chunk by chunk while maintaining a bounded textual memory in model context. However, premature information compression can discard critical details essential for subsequent reasoning. In this paper, we introduce Commit-on-Evidence Memory (CoEM), which learns when to convert source evidence into compact memory facts. Specifically, under a fixed context-memory budget, CoEM preserves potentially useful source excerpts verbatim in a pending set, allowing subsequent context to clarify their relevance before irreversible compression. As new context arrives, a learned policy revisits each pending excerpt and decides whether to promote it to the committed memory, retain it for further consideration, or discard it. A frozen verifier ensures proposed facts are accepted only if supported by retained excerpts and current context. To further guide effective memory management, we train this policy using reinforcement learning by combining fine-grained, step-level evidence rewards with final answer rewards. Extensive experiments demonstrate that CoEM consistently improves long-context reasoning. When evaluated on 6,400 documents long-context input, CoEM outperforms the strongest memory baseline by 10.4-11.4 F1 points on Qwen3.5-9B. Code repository: https://github.com/benmagnifico/CoEM.

MemTransfer: Benchmarking Memory Beyond Matched Experience in Embodied Decision-Making

Memory lets an embodied agent reuse past experience, yet retaining useful information does not ensure that the agent can apply it when conditions change. We present MemTransfer, a benchmark comparing six memory representations, a working-memory baseline and five representations of past experience, under a shared frozen vision-language-model policy. It comprises 100 navigation cases across ten task types in a simulated warehouse, with expert demonstrations supplying the history. Three comparisons vary the starting pose, route availability, and amount and task relevance of history. With one demonstration per task, Full-context and Episodic memory reach 95.3% and 100.0% success at the original demonstration start, but lose 48-49 percentage points at a new test start. Summary changes little between these two test starts, yet with four demonstrations per task it retains a smaller fraction of its unchanged-route success after blocking (39.3%) than Working memory (44.8%) or the two trajectory memories (56-58%). At the new test start, increasing from one to four relevant demonstrations raises Episodic success by 14.3 percentage points, while the other evaluated representations gain no more than 1.3 percentage points. Replacing half of the relevant histories with other-task experience lowers success for both trajectory memories. These results show that robustness to one kind of mismatch does not imply robustness to another, motivating evaluation of both stored information and its use at decision time.

A Generalized Voronoi Graph based Coverage Control Approach for Non-Convex Environment

To address the challenge of efficient coverage by multi-robot systems in non-convex regions with multiple obstacles, this paper proposes a coverage control method based on the Generalized Voronoi Graph (GVG), which has two phases: Load-Balancing Algorithm phase and Collaborative Coverage phase. In Load-Balancing Algorithm phase, the non-convex region is partitioned into multiple sub-regions based on GVG. Besides, a weighted load-balancing algorithm is developed, which considers the quality differences among sub-regions. By iteratively optimizing the robot allocation ratio, the number of robots in each sub-region is matched with the sub-region quality to achieve load balance. In Collaborative Coverage phase, each robot is controlled by a new controller to effectively coverage the region. The convergence of the method is proved and its performance is evaluated through simulations.
