SpatialBrain: Spatial Intelligence Growing from Experience

We present SpatialBrain, a framework that retains experience about these decisions while keeping its vision-language backbone fixed.

Key points

  • Spatial reasoning requires more than access to geometric tools: a reasoner must decide when direct observation is sufficient and when to reconstruct, measure, or change reference frames.
  • 3DFusionMemory fuses current-scene observations into queryable spatial relations.
  • A Spatial Skill Library provides reusable tool procedures, and Spatial Cognition associates task conditions with experience about when and how to use memory and skills.
  • Across five spatial-reasoning benchmarks, SpatialBrain improves on direct answers from the same backbone on four and ties on the fifth.
