RS-Claw-Evolution: Environment-Feedback-Driven Evolution for Lightweight Remote Sensing Agents in Long-Horizon Tasks

Large language model-driven remote sensing (RS) agents offer a promising approach to automating geospatial analysis. However, lightweight RS agents based on compact language models struggle with multi-step interactive tasks due to loss of long-horizon states, inefficient environmental feedback utilization, and sparse optimization signals. We propose RS-Claw-Evolution, an environment-feedback-driven framework that progressively improves lightweight agents through three stages. Interaction evolution uses executable code to control observations, maintain intermediate states, and reduce context redundancy. Experience evolution combines failure-aware trajectory generation with error-turn masking to learn from informative failure-recovery experiences without imitating faulty actions. Decision evolution uses reinforcement learning with multi-dimensional environment rewards and turn-level advantage protection to optimize tool-use behaviors and improve credit assignment in long sequences. On Earth-Bench, the optimized Qwen3-4B-based agent achieves 65.9% accuracy in Autonomous Planning mode, outperforming the untrained Qwen3-32B baseline (43.8%) and DeepSeek-V3.1 (60.8%), while approaching GPT-5 (71.6%). These results demonstrate that learning from environmental feedback can improve lightweight agents and narrow their performance gap with larger models in long-horizon RS tasks.

RS-Claw: Progressive Active Tool Exploration via Hierarchical Skill Trees for Remote Sensing Agents

The rise of multi-modal large language models (MLLMs) is shifting remote sensing (RS) intelligence from "see" to "action", as OpenClaw-style frameworks enable agents to autonomously operate massive RS image-processing tools for complex tasks. Existing RS agents adopt a passive selection paradigm for tool invocation, relying on either full tool registration (Flat) or retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). However, in the massive and multi-source heterogeneous RS tool ecosystem, such passive mechanisms struggle to dynamically balance "context load" and "toolset completeness" throughout task reasoning, thus exhibiting inherent limitations: full tool registration triggers context space deficits during long-horizon tasks, whereas RAG retrieval may omit critical tools in essential steps. To overcome these bottlenecks, this paper redefines tool selection by arguing that the agent should act as an active explorer within the tool space. Based on this perspective, we propose RS-Claw, a novel RS agent architecture. By leveraging Skill encapsulation technology at the tool end, this architecture hierarchically structures tool descriptions, enabling the agent to execute on-demand sequential decision-making: initially selecting relevant skill branches by reading only tool summaries, then dynamically loading detailed descriptions, and ultimately achieving precise invocation. This active paradigm not only significantly liberates the agent's context space but also effectively ensures the accurate hit rate of critical tools during long-horizon reasoning. Systematic experiments on the Earth-Bench benchmark demonstrate that RS-Claw's active exploration mechanism effectively filters semantic noise and substantially frees up reasoning space, achieving an input token compression ratio of up to 86%, and comprehensively outperforming existing Flat and RAG baselines across complex reasoning evaluations.

Phantom Menace: Exploring and Enhancing the Robustness of VLA Models Against Physical Sensor Attacks

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models revolutionize robotic systems by enabling end-to-end perception-to-action pipelines that integrate multiple sensory modalities, such as visual signals processed by cameras and auditory signals captured by microphones. This multi-modality integration allows VLA models to interpret complex, real-world environments using diverse sensor data streams. Given the fact that VLA-based systems heavily rely on the sensory input, the security of VLA models against physical-world sensor attacks remains critically underexplored. To address this gap, we present the first systematic study of physical sensor attacks against VLAs, quantifying the influence of sensor attacks and investigating the defenses for VLA models. We introduce a novel "Real-Sim-Real" framework that automatically simulates physics-based sensor attack vectors, including six attacks targeting cameras and two targeting microphones, and validates them on real robotic systems. Through large-scale evaluations across various VLA architectures and tasks under varying attack parameters, we demonstrate significant vulnerabilities, with susceptibility patterns that reveal critical dependencies on task types and model designs. We further develop an adversarial-training-based defense that enhances VLA robustness against out-of-distribution physical perturbations caused by sensor attacks while preserving model performance. Our findings expose an urgent need for standardized robustness benchmarks and mitigation strategies to secure VLA deployments in safety-critical environments.

FRBNet: Revisiting Low-Light Vision through Frequency-Domain Radial Basis Network

Low-light vision remains a fundamental challenge in computer vision due to severe illumination degradation, which significantly affects the performance of downstream tasks such as detection and segmentation. While recent state-of-the-art methods have improved performance through invariant feature learning modules, they still fall short due to incomplete modeling of low-light conditions. Therefore, we revisit low-light image formation and extend the classical Lambertian model to better characterize low-light conditions. By shifting our analysis to the frequency domain, we theoretically prove that the frequency-domain channel ratio can be leveraged to extract illumination-invariant features via a structured filtering process. We then propose a novel and end-to-end trainable module named \textbf{F}requency-domain \textbf{R}adial \textbf{B}asis \textbf{Net}work (\textbf{FRBNet}), which integrates the frequency-domain channel ratio operation with a learnable frequency domain filter for the overall illumination-invariant feature enhancement. As a plug-and-play module, FRBNet can be integrated into existing networks for low-light downstream tasks without modifying loss functions. Extensive experiments across various downstream tasks demonstrate that FRBNet achieves superior performance, including +2.2 mAP for dark object detection and +2.9 mIoU for nighttime segmentation.
