Real-time foundation-model-first robot mapping: SAM segmentation + BotSort tracking + VLM grounding feed into Hydra to build 3D Dynamic Scene Graphs on the fly.

Key contributions:

• Novel optimization-based frontend for semantic descriptions from localized captioning models
• Hierarchical 4D scene graph construction with real-time performance
• State-of-the-art results on NaVQA and SG3D benchmarks

The ROS 2 interface lives in DAAAM-ROS.
