AVALON: Zero-Shot Indoor Navigation with Human-Seeded Topological Memory
AVALON is a topological navigation framework that enables zero‑shot indoor navigation for service robots in familiar but unmapped buildings. It relies on human‑seeded layered spatial memory, node‑verified execution, and task‑triggered human‑robot memory co‑updating, requiring only a floor plan, place clues, and an initial topology‑odometry alignment. Experiments on a Unitree Go2 robot show AVALON completing a 12.81 m mission in 46.4 s—40.9% faster than DimOS‑Go2—without any on‑site mapping.

Mem2Ego: Empowering Vision-Language Models with Global-to-Ego Memory for Long-Horizon Embodied Navigation
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.
