PlatonicNav: Unveiling Semantic Correspondence in Navigation with Platonic Topological Maps
Embodied visual navigation, where an agent perceives a complex environment and acts to reach a goal from raw sensory input, underpins a wide range of applications such as household service robotics, assistive robotics, and large-scale autonomous exploration. However, recent attempts to unify vision-and-language navigation (VLN) and object goal navigation (ObjNav) remain at the level of architectural fusion, mixed-task training, and large vision-language pretraining, without examining whether independently trained vision and language encoders may already share a common semantic structure. Moreover, even object-centric topological maps still ground language goals through explicit cross-moda...
