RoboReason (EMNLP 2026): big VLMs stumble on spatiotemporal ordering with real robot images

Two co-authors announced the EMNLP 2026 acceptance of RoboReason, which tests vision-language models on putting real-world robotics images in the right spatial and temporal order. Their headline finding is that large VLMs often underperform previously repo...

Two co-authors announced the EMNLP 2026 acceptance of RoboReason, which tests vision-language models on putting real-world robotics images in the right spatial and temporal order. Their headline finding is that large VLMs often underperform previously reported results once the images come from real robots. The...
