提出自适应导航框架,提升未知环境找物的效率与可靠性
ApexNav: An Adaptive Exploration Strategy for Zero-Shot Object Navigation with Target-centric Semantic Fusion
- 根据语义线索强弱动态切换语义推理与几何探索
- 在HM3Dv1/MP3D上达成更高成功率与路径效率
- 适合需要鲁棒目标识别的机器人导航场景
在未知环境中寻找目标物体是一项重大挑战。尽管语义信息对导航至关重要,但仅依赖语义进行决策在语义线索弱的环境下可能效率低下,且易受误检影响,尤其在视觉相似物体密集区域。为此,我们提出ApexNav,一种零样本目标导航框架,兼具高效性与可靠性。为提升效率,ApexNav通过分析环境中的语义分布,当语义线索强时采用语义推理引导探索,弱时切换至基于几何的探索。为增强可靠性,提出以目标为中心的语义融合方法,保留目标及相似物体的长期记忆,实现噪声检测下的稳定识别。我们在HM3Dv1、HM3Dv2和MP3D数据集上评估,结果表明其在成功率(SR)和路径长度归一化成功率(SPL)上均优于现有方法。全面消融实验验证了各模块有效性。此外,真实世界实验进一步证明了ApexNav在物理环境中的实用性。代码将开源于https://github.com/Robotics-STAR-Lab/ApexNav。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Navigating unknown environments to find a target object is a significant challenge. While semantic information is crucial for navigation, relying solely on it for decision-making may not always be efficient, especially in environments with weak semantic cues. Additionally, many methods are susceptible to misdetections, especially in environments with visually similar objects. To address these limitations, we propose ApexNav, a zero-shot object navigation framework that is both more efficient and reliable. For efficiency, ApexNav adaptively utilizes semantic information by analyzing its distribution in the environment, guiding exploration through semantic reasoning when cues are strong, and switching to geometry-based exploration when they are weak. For reliability, we propose a target-centric semantic fusion method that preserves long-term memory of the target and similar objects, enabling robust object identification even under noisy detections. We evaluate ApexNav on the HM3Dv1, HM3Dv2, and MP3D datasets, where it outperforms state-of-the-art methods in both SR and SPL metrics. Comprehensive ablation studies further demonstrate the effectiveness of each module. Furthermore, real-world experiments validate the practicality of ApexNav in physical environments. The code will be released at https://github.com/Robotics-STAR-Lab/ApexNav.
