Correspondences as Decisions: JevNexus for Decision-Centric Schema Matching

Runze Li, Hanchen Wang, Ying Zhang +1

Schema matching increasingly uses generative language models to rerank retrieved column candidates, although the underlying task is a bounded correspondence decision. We present Je…

SignScene: Visual Sign Grounding for Mapless Navigation

Nicky Zimmerman, Joel Loo, Benjamin Koh +2

Navigational signs enable humans to navigate unfamiliar environments without maps. This work studies how robots can similarly exploit signs for mapless navigation in the open world…

InFeR: Informed Failure Resilience in Learned Visual Navigation Control

Zishuo Wang, Joel Loo, David Hsu

While imitation learning (IL) has enabled successful visual navigation in many common environments, IL policies are prone to unpredictable failures under out-of-distribution (OOD)…

SignLoc: Robust Localization using Navigation Signs and Public Maps

Nicky Zimmerman, Joel Loo, Ayush Agrawal +1

Navigation signs and maps, such as floor plans and street maps, are widely available and serve as ubiquitous aids for way-finding in human environments. Yet, they are rarely used b…

Open Scene Graphs for Open-World Object-Goal Navigation

Joel Loo, Zhanxin Wu, David Hsu

How can we build general-purpose robot systems for open-world semantic navigation, e.g., searching a novel environment for a target object specified in natural language? To tackle…

Sign Language: Towards Sign Understanding for Robot Autonomy

Ayush Agrawal, Joel Loo, Nicky Zimmerman +1

Navigational signs are common aids for human wayfinding and scene understanding, but are underutilized by robots. We argue that they benefit robot navigation and scene understandin…

IntentionNet: Map-Lite Visual Navigation at the Kilometre Scale

Wei Gao, Bo Ai, Joel Loo +2

This work explores the challenges of creating a scalable and robust robot navigation system that can traverse both indoor and outdoor environments to reach distant goals. We propos…

Open Scene Graphs for Open World Object-Goal Navigation

Joel Loo, Zhanxin Wu, David Hsu

How can we build robots for open-world semantic navigation tasks, like searching for target objects in novel scenes? While foundation models have the rich knowledge and generalisat…

Scene Action Maps: Behavioural Maps for Navigation without Metric Information

Joel Loo, David Hsu

Humans are remarkable in their ability to navigate without metric information. We can read abstract 2D maps, such as floor-plans or hand-drawn sketches, and use them to navigate in…
