Object Goal Navigation (ObjectNav) task is to navigate an agent to an object category in unseen environments without a pre-built map. In this paper, we solve this task by predicting the distance to the target using semantically-related…

Visual navigation requires a whole range of capabilities. A crucial one of these is the ability of an agent to determine its own location and heading in an environment. Prior works commonly assume this information as given, or use methods…
