INOT is a spatial context-aware control system for smart devices, leveraging Vision Language Models and Large Language Models to enable natural language commands referencing physical locations. A user study indicated the system reduced cognitive workload by an average of 13.17 points on the NASA-TLX compared to conventional voice assistants.

Key insights

  • Integrating VLMs and LLMs allows for dynamic, real-time spatial reasoning about smart environments, enabling natural language control beyond static device identifiers.
  • Automated visual recognition and spatial context inference significantly reduce user cognitive load and enhance the intuitiveness of smart home interactions.
  • A modular, platform-agnostic system design ensures extensibility and adaptability, allowing for seamless integration with existing IoT ecosystems and broader accessibility.
