StreamingClaw Technical Report

Abstract

Emerging applications such as embodied intelligence, AI hardware, autonomous driving, and intelligent cockpits rely on a real-time perception-decision-action closed loop, posing stringent challenges for streaming video understanding. However, current agents mostly suffer from fragmented capabilities, such as supporting only offline video understanding, lacking long-term multimodal memory mechanisms, or struggling to achieve real-time reasoning and proactive interaction under streaming input. These shortcomings have become a key bottleneck for preventing agents from sustaining perception, making real-time decisions, and executing closed-loop actions in complex real-world environments, constraining their deployment and potential in dynamic, open physical worlds. To alleviate these issues, we propose StreamingClaw, a unified agent framework for streaming video understanding and embodied intelligence. Beyond maintaining full compatibility with the OpenClaw framework, it natively supports real-time, multimodal streaming interactions. StreamingClaw integrates five core capabilities: (1) It supports real-time streaming reasoning. (2) It supports reasoning about future events and proactive interaction under the online evolution of interaction objectives. (3) It supports multimodal long-term memory storage, hierarchical memory evolution, efficient memory retrieval, and memory sharing across multiple agents. (4) It supports a closed loop of perception-decision-action. In addition to conventional tools and skills, it also provides streaming tools and action-centric skills tailored for real-world physical environments. (5) It is compatible with the OpenClaw framework, allowing it to leverage the resources and support of the open-source community.
