    SpatialScout benchmark: enabling agents to actively observe and build 3D spatial cognition

    Xinzhiyuan reported on the SpatialScout benchmark, which gives a camera to an AI and places it in previously unseen virtual rooms, where the model autonomously decides when to turn, move, and capture images, and submits the 3D coordinates of target objects. The formal evaluation selects 80 indoor scenes and 3,140 target instances from iTHOR, RoboTHOR, ArchitecTHOR, ReplicaCAD, and ProcTHOR, with at most 100 interaction rounds per task; scoring considers both mean IoU and the proportion of IoU above 0%, 50%, and 90%.

    Hongqi Chain ends robot unmanned retail system R&D; convenience-store robots still can't sell independently

    After 16 months of R&D, Hongqi Chain has terminated development of its robot unmanned retail system. The company's announcement said the system has not yet met the standard for large-scale commercial deployment, and it is shifting to a 24-hour cloud-staffed operation business. An industry insider close to Hongqi said that in summer, condensation on glass-bottle cold drinks made the robot unable to grip them steadily, and it kept dropping and shattering them; it also could not reliably pick up goods in complex packaging, and operation was even harder when aisles were narrow and customers were nearby. In a robot retail warehouse visited by QbitAI, the robot only handled mobile picking, with each pick taking about 20-plus seconds, and human staff were still needed for restocking and charging. Several practitioners believe robot retail is still in the PoC stage.

    The stronger Astra gets, the more one question matters: Is a Chinese robot's "body" an asset or a peripheral?

    SenseTime's Astra reaches 100% on LIBERO-Long++ and 81.9% on RoboDojo; the stronger the general-purpose brain, the more easily a robot body that conforms to standard interfaces can be swapped out as a "peripheral." Using Unitree's real-machine data flywheel, Zhiyuan's 3/4 R&D investment in the large and small brains, and Galaxy General's AstraBrain-WBC 0.5 trained on 2 billion frames of motion-capture data (92.58% zero-shot motion-tracking success rate, 0.39 ms inference latency) as examples, the article proposes three criteria: depth of in-house development at the execution layer, data return rate, and scenario replacement cost.
