SOR-Nav: Search or Relocate? Context-Gated Exploration and Cross-Region Relocation for Object Navigation

Yuan Ji, Zirui Li, Yuxin Cai +3

Object navigation requires an embodied agent to find an object in an unseen environment under partial observability and a limited motion budget. Existing methods primarily optimize…

RoboFoundry: System-as-Policy Evolution for Self-Learning Embodied Agents

Jingsong Liang, Shuhao Liao, Shizhe Zhang +15

A foundation model should not act in isolation as an embodied agent. Yet, existing methods often optimize individual components of the agent stack, such as memory, context, skills,…

Goal2Pixel: Grounding Goals to Pixels for Vision-Language Navigation

Muyi Bao, Yuxin Cai, Hang Xu +7

Vision-language models (VLMs) have become a common foundation for vision-and-language navigation in continuous environments (VLN-CE). Yet most VLM-based methods cast navigation as…

IntentNav: Learning Spatial-Visual Object Navigation from Human Demonstrations

Yuxin Cai, Zongtai Li, Maonan Wang +9

Object navigation requires a robot to search for an unobserved target in an unknown environment by deciding where to explore next under partial observability. Effective search rese…

ImagiNav: Scalable Embodied Navigation via Generative Visual Prediction and Inverse Dynamics

Jie Chen, Yuxin Cai, Yizhuo Wang +6

Enabling robots to navigate open-world environments via natural language is critical for general-purpose autonomy. Yet, Vision-Language Navigation has relied on end-to-end policies…

Dual-Interaction-Aware Cooperative Control Strategy for Alleviating Mixed Traffic Congestion

Zhengxuan Liu, Yuxin Cai, Yijing Wang +3

As Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) develops, Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) are expected to significantly reduce traffic congestion through cooperative strategies,…

CL-CoTNav: Closed-Loop Hierarchical Chain-of-Thought for Zero-Shot Object-Goal Navigation with Vision-Language Models

Yuxin Cai, Xiangkun He, Maonan Wang +3

Visual Object Goal Navigation (ObjectNav) requires a robot to locate a target object in an unseen environment using egocentric observations. However, decision-making policies often…
