BridgeEQA: Virtual Embodied Agents for Real Bridge Inspections
BridgeEQA: Virtual Embodied Agents for Real Bridge Inspections
2025

Introduced BridgeEQA, a benchmark for open-vocabulary Embodied Question Answering grounded in professional bridge inspection reports. Proposed Embodied Memory Visual Reasoning (EMVR), which formulates inspection as sequential navigation over an image-based scene graph.

Embodied AI Interactive Evaluation Environment for Large Scale Engineering Applications
Embodied AI Interactive Evaluation Environment for Large Scale Engineering Applications
2025

Built an interactive UI for researchers to run and evaluate agents for large-scale visual reasoning and analysis of scenes. Features include 3D model navigation with selectable camera nodes, image bounding box annotation, scene graph viewing and editing, and real-time agent monitoring as it navigates the 3D scene.
