and Vision Models<\/strong> (LLMs and LVLMs) to build open-vocabulary semantic maps, incorporating two key improvements: adaptation to state-of-the-art LLMs such as <strong>Gemini 1.5<\/strong> and <strong>ChatGPT-4o<\/strong>, and a <strong>refinement stage using the Reflection agentic workflow<\/strong>, which enables the model to self-evaluate and correct its own responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We validated the proposal through experiments in real-world environments from the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scan-net.org\/\">ScanNet<\/a> <\/strong>dataset, demonstrating its effectiveness in
