arXiv:2606. 29908v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing world model-based planners for visual navigation typically follow a verification-centric paradigm, decoupling goal intent from trajectory synthesis.

arXiv:2608. 03244v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Image-goal visual navigation is a fundamental capability for embodied agents.
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: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.
arXiv:2608. 15284v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Navigation instruction generation from ego-centric RGB video in continuous environments is an important yet challenging task for human-robot interaction and scalable dataset construction.
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.
