Local-Minimum Escaper: Programmatic Subgoal Generation for Robust Navigation in Unknown Environments
Yin Gu, Xinming Zhang, Shanze Wang +2
Mapless navigation in unknown and partially observable environments remains challenging for mobile robots, particularly when local minima prevent the robot from making progress tow…
FlashNav: Training Deployable Robot Navigation Policies in Seconds
Shanze Wang, Yiwei Qian, Xinming Zhang +8
Training Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) navigation policies for different robot configurations remains time-consuming. We present FlashNav, a GPU-based framework that trains rob…
AgniNav: Configuration-Driven Cross-Embodiment Local Planning for Robot Navigation
Tianhao Zang, Siwei Cheng, Haidong Huang +2
Monocular local navigation is attractive for lightweight robots, but existing vision-based policies often couple perception to a specific body, camera height, and footprint, making…
Do We Really Need Immediate Resets? Rethinking Collision Handling for Efficient Robot Navigation
Shanze Wang, Xinming Zhang, Siwei Cheng +4
Should a single collision necessarily terminate an entire navigation episode? In most deep reinforcement learning (DRL) frameworks for robot navigation, this remains the standard p…
Learning from Demonstration with Failure Awareness for Safe Robot Navigation
Xianghui Wang, Siwei Cheng, Shanze Wang +3
Learning from demonstration is widely used for robot navigation, yet it suffers from a fundamental limitation: demonstrations consist predominantly of successful behaviors and prov…
CeRLP: A Cross-embodiment Robot Local Planning Framework for Visual Navigation
Haoyu Xi, Mingao Tan, Xinming Zhang +5
Visual navigation for cross-embodiment robots is challenging due to variations in robot and camera configurations, which can lead to the failure of navigation tasks. Previous appro…
