Image-goal visual navigation is a fundamental capability for embodied agents. Existing navigation policies efficiently predict waypoint trajectories but lack visual foresight, while navigation world models can anticipate future observations but often require costly planning rollouts.

arXiv:2605. 06317v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing Vision-Language Navigation (VLN) methods typically adopt an egocentric, step-by-step paradigm, which struggles with error accumulation and limits efficiency.

Conventional visual navigation policies often struggle with myopic decision-making and mode collapse in complex environments. While world models offer a promising alternative, existing paradigms typically isolate perception, generation, and control, failing to capture their shared spatio-temporal dynamics.
