For robots to perform a wide variety of tasks, they require a 3D representation of the world that is semantically rich, yet compact and efficient for task-driven perception and planning. Recent approaches have attempted to leverage features from large vision-language models to encode semantics in 3D representations. However, these approaches tend to produce maps with per-point feature vectors, which do not scale well in larger environments, nor do they contain semantic spatial relationships between entities in the environment, which are useful for downstream planning. In this work, we propose ConceptGraphs, an open-vocabulary graph-structured representation for 3D scenes. ConceptGraphs is built by leveraging 2D foundation models and fusing their output to 3D by multi-view association. The resulting representations generalize to novel semantic classes, without the need to collect large 3D datasets or finetune models. We demonstrate the utility of this representation through a number of downstream planning tasks that are specified through abstract (language) prompts and require complex reasoning over spatial and semantic concepts.

  1. Scaling Diverse Language Generation for 3D Visual Grounding

    cs.CL 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    ViGiL3D++ generates diverse 3D visual grounding queries via scene-graph constraint sampling plus LLM language generation, yielding higher diversity than prior datasets and improved benchmark performance.

  2. Memory for Attention: Language-Conditioned Re-Perception with a Vision--Language--Motion Map

    cs.RO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Persistent map memory schedules budgeted re-perception better than memoryless VLM priors, with gain equal to Var(√λ), and language-conditioned VLMM needs both open-vocabulary relevance and per-instance dynamics.

  3. Vision-Language-Motion Maps: An Open-Vocabulary, Uncertainty-Aware, Queryable Motion Attribute for 3D Scene Maps

    cs.RO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    VLMM is a 3D map representation where each object carries a fused, uncertainty-aware motion attribute (language-based movability prior + observed geometric motion) that makes motion queries such as 'what is moving' an...

  4. What to Distinguish and How? Opportunities and Challenges of Augmenting Multiple, Cluttered Objects in Complex Scenes for People with Low Vision

    cs.HC 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    AR importance distinction shifts low-vision attention to higher-priority objects in complex scenes, supports hierarchical scanning, but reduces overall recall and introduces augmentation blending and misalignment challenges.

  5. What to Distinguish and How? Opportunities and Challenges of Augmenting Multiple, Cluttered Objects in Complex Scenes for People with Low Vision

    cs.HC 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    For people with low vision, AR overlays that rank objects by importance redirect attention toward high-priority objects, but multi-object augmentation lowers overall scene recall and creates new visual-confusion problems.
