Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have shown promising progress in language-conditioned robotic manipulation. However, existing datasets and benchmarks mainly evaluate task completion under predefined settings, offering limited insight into model reasoning under increasing spatial and procedural complexity. We introduce RoboSPA (Robot Spatial-Procedural Assessment), a large-scale robotic manipulation dataset and benchmark for diagnosing embodied reasoning in VLA models. RoboSPA focuses on two core dimensions, Fine-Grained Spatial Reasoning and Long-Horizon Procedural Planning, covering 10 task categories and 56 base tasks. Each task is instantiated across five difficulty levels, yielding 280 variants with increasing spatial ambiguity and procedural complexity. We collect 527K trajectories across multiple embodiments and diverse scenes. Beyond binary success rate, RoboSPA introduces diagnostic metrics for more detailed evaluation. Experiments on representative VLA models show that current systems still struggle with complex spatial relations, precise low-level execution, and memory-intensive planning. These results establish RoboSPA as a challenging diagnostic benchmark for developing more capable, reliable, and generalizable embodied agents. Our data and code are available at https://github.com/fanzhenxuan/RoboSPA.

This technical report describes our methodology for the Regulatory Information Retrieval and Answer Generation (RIRAG) Shared Task, a component of the RegNLP workshop at COLING 2025. The challenge aims to effectively navigate and extract relevant information from regulatory texts to generate precise, coherent answers for compliance and obligation-related queries. To tackle subtask1, we introduce a two-stage approach comprising an initial output stage and a subsequent refinement stage. Initially, we fine-tune the LLaMa-2-7B model using LoRA to produce a preliminary output. This is followed by the application of an expert mechanism to enhance the results. For subtask2, we design specific prompt to facilitate the generation of high-quality answers. Consequently, our approach has achieved state-of-the-art performance on the leaderboard, which serves as a testament to the effectiveness and competitiveness of our proposed methodology.
