IntentionNav: A Benchmark for Intent-Driven Object Navigation from Implicit Human Instruction
Existing object navigation benchmarks usually tell an embodied agent which object category to find, such as microwave or chair. Human-facing embodied AI is often asked something less direct: "I need something to warm this food" or "the room feels stuffy."
