arXiv:2607. 14514v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Object-goal navigation requires an embodied agent to locate and reach an instance of a specified object category in an indoor environment.
Building memory is essential for long-horizon planning in zero-shot embodied navigation. Detector-centric scene graphs often compress observations into sparse nodes, discarding fine-grained visual evidence and accumulating noise, while 3D reconstruction-based methods remain computationally prohibitive.
arXiv:2608. 07079v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Object-goal navigation has made substantial progress in semantic perception and exploration, yet persistent memory for multi-object navigation and cross-floor navigation are still commonly addressed separately.

Mem2Ego introduces a vision‑language model for embodied navigation that combines global memory with egocentric visual inputs. By adaptively retrieving task‑relevant cues from a global memory module and aligning them with local perception, the framework improves spatial reasoning and decision‑making over long horizons. The method outperforms prior state‑of‑the‑art approaches on the HSSD and HM3D benchmarks and shows strong performance on a real robot.

AnchorVLN is an open‑vocabulary vision‑language navigation system that separates semantic proposals from geometric metrics. It uses a VLM to generate semantics while a geometry module supplies reliable metric quantities such as range and bearing, all within a Model Context Protocol server. The system achieves 64.4% on instruction following and improves object‑reference accuracy, reducing median center error from 3.37 m to 2.48 m.

arXiv:2510. 01483v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) demonstrate strong image-level scene understanding, but reasoning over long egocentric video remains costly: because VLMs maintain no persistent memory or explicit spatial representation, all sampled frames must be re-processed for every new query.
PerSeM is a training‑free framework that builds a persistent semantic memory for long‑horizon UAV mapping by associating frame‑wise segmentation results with world‑space voxels and refining them through spatial refinement, trust‑aware replay, and context‑guided verification. Experiments on Forest and UAVScenes benchmarks show that this persistent 3D memory improves semantic correctness and temporal stability compared to frame‑wise predictions, especially in semantically difficult and temporally unstable regions. The method achieves these gains without retraining or additional neural‑network inference.

arXiv:2608. 07267v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent vision-language navigation (VLN) systems increasingly adapt pretrained vision-language models (VLMs) into vision-language-action (VLA) policies that map egocentric observations and language instructions directly to navigation actions.
