From Language to Navigation Goals: A Vision-Language Approach for Semantic Navigation of Mobile Robots Using RGB-D Perception

Natural language interaction provides an intuitive way for non-expert users to communicate with robotic platforms. However, transforming user requests into executable navigation actions remains a challenging task, requiring the integration of language understanding, environment perception, and autonomous navigation.
