Language-guided embodied navigation requires an agent to interpret object-referential instructions, search across multiple rooms, localize the referenced target, and execute reliable motion toward it. Existing systems remain limited in real…
Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) is a task that an agent is required to follow a language instruction to navigate to the goal position, which relies on the ongoing interactions with the environment during moving. Recent…
Vision-Language Navigation in Continuous Environments (VLNCE), where an agent follows instructions and moves freely to reach a destination, is a key research problem in embodied AI. However, most existing approaches are sensitive to…
Visual navigation is essential for many applications in robotics, from manipulation, through mobile robotics to automated driving. Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) provides an elegant map-free approach integrating image processing,…
Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) is a challenging task in which an agent needs to follow a language-specified path to reach a target destination. The goal gets even harder as the actions available to the agent get simpler and move…
In a busy city street, a pedestrian surrounded by distractions can pick out a single sign if it is relevant to their route. Artificial agents in outdoor Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) are also confronted with detecting supervisory…
A visually-grounded navigation instruction can be interpreted as a sequence of expected observations and actions an agent following the correct trajectory would encounter and perform. Based on this intuition, we formulate the problem of…
