Researchers have introduced SIS-Bench, a new benchmark designed to evaluate the self-awareness and spatial cognition capabilities of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that utilize multimodal large language models (MLLMs). The benchmark addresses a gap in current evaluations, which tend to be environment-centric rather than agent-centric. SIS-Bench organizes assessments across space and self dimensions, with a three-level hierarchy of perception, memory, and reasoning, and includes 4,856 question-answer pairs derived from real-world UAV videos. Initial evaluations indicate that current MLLMs struggle with dynamic, agent-centered processes, showing a clear imbalance between spatial cognition and self-awareness, and a decline in performance across cognitive levels. Incorporating motion-aware representations through optical flow and visual feature fusion has shown improvements in perception and memory for both spatial cognition and self-awareness, suggesting the importance of self-awareness for advancing embodied spatial intelligence in UAVs.
