VTM-Nav: Hierarchical Visual-Topological Memory for Cross-Episode Object-Goal Navigation

arXiv:2607.14514v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Object-goal navigation requires an embodied agent to locate and reach an instance of a specified object category in an indoor environment. Recent training-free approaches leverage vision-language models (VLMs) for open-vocabulary semantic reasoning, but are typically evaluated under an episodic protocol that resets all scene-specific state after each episode. We introduce Cross-Episode Object-Goal Navigation, in which an agent repeatedly operates in the same scene, retains only self-acquired experience, and keeps its model parameters fixed. To…
