Vision-language models (VLMs) have achieved impressive results on single-view vision tasks, but lack the multi-view spatial reasoning capabilities essential for embodied AI systems to understand 3D environments and manipulate objects across different viewpoints. In this work, we introduce Cross-View Relations (XVR), a large-scale dataset designed to teach VLMs spatial reasoning across multiple views. XVR comprises 100K vision-question-answer samples derived from 18K diverse 3D scenes and 70K robotic manipulation trajectories, spanning three fundamental spatial reasoning tasks: Correspondence (matching objects across views), Verification (validating spatial relationships), and Localization (identifying object positions). VLMs fine-tuned on XVR achieve substantial improvements on established multi-view and robotic spatial reasoning benchmarks (MindCube and RoboSpatial). When integrated as backbones in Vision-Language-Action models, XVR-trained representations improve success rates on RoboCasa. Our results demonstrate that explicit training on cross-view spatial relations significantly enhances multi-view reasoning and transfers effectively to real-world robotic manipulation.

In robot learning, scaling training datasets across diverse embodiments and environments has become a dominant paradigm for learning generalizable robot policies. These policies are commonly trained via behavior cloning to imitate actions from pre-collected demonstrations. However, since robot actions are tied to the dynamics of the data collection robot, different robots may require different actions to achieve the same motion. This discrepancy hinders both policy training and deployment across diverse robots. To address this, we propose using Cartesian state delta as a universal action representation across robots, and introduce State Prediction and Adaptive Command Execution (SPACE) framework. SPACE handles robot dynamics variation at three levels: across different embodiments, across hardware units of the same embodiment, and within a single robot during operation. It consists of two components: (i) a Cartesian state delta policy that predicts geometric end-effector displacement, and (ii) Action Adapter, which converts the predicted Cartesian state delta into robot-specific control commands. Experiments show that SPACE substantially outperforms policies that directly predict control commands when learning from data collected across different embodiments and across hardware units of the same embodiment. SPACE also remains robust under dynamics shifts at deployment, including changes in control frequency, object weight, and controller gains.
