Researchers have introduced SIS-Bench, a new benchmark designed to evaluate the self-awareness and spatial cognition of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) utilizing multimodal large language models (MLLMs). The benchmark addresses the current gap where existing evaluations are primarily environment-centric, neglecting the agent's self-representation. SIS-Bench organizes assessments across space and self dimensions, with three levels of cognitive processing: perception, memory, and reasoning, using over 4,800 question-answer pairs derived from real-world UAV videos. Initial findings indicate that current MLLMs struggle with agent-centered processes, showing a notable imbalance between spatial understanding and self-awareness, and performance degradation at higher cognitive levels. The study also explored motion-aware representations, demonstrating that incorporating agent motion through optical flow and feature fusion significantly improves both spatial cognition and self-awareness, generalizing to downstream decision-making tasks.
