arXiv:2606. 16902v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This work addresses spatial question answering for service robots traversing long egocentric routes.
Robots deployed in delivery, campus, and emergency-response settings often need to navigate from buildings to streets within a single continuous episode. Existing benchmarks usually evaluate indoor and outdoor navigation separately, and many abstract away robot execution, leaving exit finding, boundary traversal, adaptation, and kinodynamic failures underexplored.
arXiv:2606. 18634v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: To locate a target object while exploring the unknown environment is a fundamental capability for autonomous agents, with applications ranging from search-and-rescue to field robots.
arXiv:2607. 20785v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deploying navigation systems at scale requires a recipe that minimizes sensor assumptions, generalizes across robot embodiments, and trains efficiently.
arXiv:2607. 13624v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Natural language interaction provides an intuitive way for non-expert users to communicate with robotic platforms.
arXiv:2607. 21400v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) enables embodied agents to follow natural-language instructions.
arXiv:2512. 05277v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are increasingly deployed as the perception and reasoning backbone of autonomous agents acting in the wild, with autonomous driving (AD) being one of the most safety-critical instances.
arXiv:2608. 11739v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The prevailing recipe for Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models couples a pretrained VLM with a separately trained flow-matching action expert.
arXiv:2607. 10991v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As mobile robots become more integrated into everyday human environments, social robot navigation is becoming essential for ensuring human comfort, safety, and trust.
arXiv:2512. 05277v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are increasingly deployed as the perception and reasoning backbone of autonomous agents acting in the wild, with autonomous driving (AD) being one of the most safety-critical instances.
Natural language interaction provides an intuitive way for non-expert users to communicate with robotic platforms. However, transforming user requests into executable navigation actions remains a challenging task, requiring the integration of language understanding, environment perception, and autonomous navigation.
