Linguistic Trajectory Encoding for Efficient Long-Horizon Spatial Memory in Embodied Agents

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper introduces Linguistic Trajectory Encoding (LTE), a hybrid representation that compresses dynamic object motion histories using natural language descriptions, sparse spatial anchors, and visual anchors. LTE adapts compression to motion complexity by anchoring periods without reliable observations to the last seen location while preserving accuracy with geometric waypoints and linguistic descriptions. Evaluated on the newly constructed Spatial Memory Benchmark (SMB) from EgoLife multi‑day recordings, LTE achieves 45.3 % success in semantic trajectory retrieval and 48.7 % in long‑horizon object retrieval, outperforming prior structured‑memory and VLM baselines, and compresses trajectories 8.7×–26.1× with sub‑second query latency on 24‑hour video.

MemoryVLN: From Ego-Aware Memory Representation to Cross-Context Memory Reuse in Vision-Language Navigation

MemoryVLN introduces a memory-driven navigation system that compresses long navigation histories and reuses past spatial experience. It uses forgetting-curve-inspired temporal sampling for long sequence compression, an ego-aware memory representation that fuses 2D semantic, 3D geometric, and 6D pose tokens, and a hierarchical memory bank for in-episode and context-level memory management. The system retrieves top‑K relevant memories to augment current visual tokens, achieving significant improvements on R2R‑CE and RxR‑CE benchmarks.

LookStep: Efficient Vision-Language Navigation with Linguistic Foresight and Event Driven Memory

LookStep is a new end‑to‑end framework for Vision‑Language Navigation that integrates Language‑Centric Future State Modeling with an Event‑Driven Rolling Memory. It uses language labels to predict coarse navigation progress and future states for candidate actions, and autonomously decides which observations to store in a bounded memory with semantic roles. Empirical results show that LookStep outperforms existing methods on VLN‑CE tasks, achieving a 49.7% success rate on R2R‑CE Val‑Unseen while improving memory efficiency and reducing data requirements.
