Compressing Observation History into Agent Memory: Distilling Transformers into Recurrent Transformers
Philippe Weinzaepfel, Christian Wolf, Bülent Mert Sariyildiz +2
Transformers are AI's workhorse with strong performance in modeling sequential data, but their computational cost becomes prohibitive when processing long sequences. We target long…
What does really matter in image goal navigation?
Gianluca Monaci, Philippe Weinzaepfel, Christian Wolf
Image goal navigation requires two different skills: firstly, core navigation skills, including the detection of free space and obstacles, and taking decisions based on an internal…
Kinaema: a recurrent sequence model for memory and pose in motion
Mert Bulent Sariyildiz, Philippe Weinzaepfel, Guillaume Bono +2
One key aspect of spatially aware robots is the ability to "find their bearings", ie. to correctly situate themselves in previously seen spaces. In this work, we focus on this part…
RANa: Retrieval-Augmented Navigation
Gianluca Monaci, Rafael S. Rezende, Romain Deffayet +5
Methods for navigation based on large-scale learning typically treat each episode as a new problem, where the agent is spawned with a clean memory in an unknown environment. While…
Reasoning in visual navigation of end-to-end trained agents: a dynamical systems approach
Steeven Janny, Hervé Poirier, Leonid Antsfeld +6
Progress in Embodied AI has made it possible for end-to-end-trained agents to navigate in photo-realistic environments with high-level reasoning and zero-shot or language-condition…
