abstract
We present a new AI task -- Embodied Question Answering (EmbodiedQA) -- where an agent is spawned at a random location in a 3D environment and asked a question ("What color is the car?"). In order to answer, the agent must first intelligently navigate to explore the environment, gather information through first-person (egocentric) vision, and then answer the question ("orange"). This challenging task requires a range of AI skills -- active perception, language understanding, goal-driven navigation, commonsense reasoning, and grounding of language into actions. In this work, we develop the environments, end-to-end-trained reinforcement learning agents, and evaluation protocols for EmbodiedQA.

LIME formulates language-conditioned camera motion as predicting SE(3) target poses from RGB and intent text, using mined multi-intent supervision from egocentric video and a flow-matching pose head.
PInVerify is a new offline embodied benchmark for active instance verification that supplies multi-view captures and 6-sector navigation topology, with MLLM baselines reaching 85.6% after fine-tuning but showing no reliable benefit from tested next-best-view strategies.
ReScene introduces HierView for view prioritization and Relation-Aware Assembly for scene graph fusion, reporting 17% lower Chamfer Distance and 26% lower LPIPS than prior baselines on ScanNet while running faster.
UpstreamQA disentangles video reasoning by using LRMs for explicit upstream object identification and scene context before downstream LMM VideoQA, improving performance and interpretability on OpenEQA and NExTQA in some cases.
LASAR pairs a dual-memory system with spatio-temporal contrastive learning to induce latent cognitive maps, reporting 2-3.5% zero-shot gains on VLN-CE and VSI-Bench plus high map self-consistency.
