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

Read the original on arXiv AI →

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.

Towards Unified World Models for Visual Navigation via Memory-Augmented Planning and Foresight

The paper introduces UniWM, a unified, memory‑augmented world model that merges egocentric visual foresight and planning into a single multimodal autoregressive backbone. By grounding action selection in visually imagined outcomes and using a hierarchical memory to fuse short‑term perception with long‑term trajectory context, UniWM aligns prediction with control and improves navigation stability. Experiments on four challenging benchmarks and the 1X Humanoid Dataset show up to 30% higher success rates, reduced trajectory errors, zero‑shot generalization to unseen datasets, and scalability to high‑dimensional humanoid navigation.
