Provides a real-scale 3D Hong Kong sandbox to evaluate whether multimodal LLM agents can turn local street-view perception into sustained spatial action, supporting closed-loop first-person interaction, an interactive map, and controlled tests of grounding, long-range navigation, and robustness.
Rewrites physical scenes as executable world programs (e.g., MuJoCo scene descriptions) and uses an agentic abductive loop to propose, execute, render, verify, and iteratively refine those programs from videos or text. Verified executable worlds supply scalable physical supervision for training vision–language models.
Proposes VLAct, a representation-centric continued pre-training method for Vision-Language-Action models that preserves VLM priors and enforces cross-embodiment action semantics to turn limited robot trajectories into transferable visual-action representations; shows strong gains and sample efficiency on multiple VLA benchmarks using modest compute.
