用地图和深度信息引导机器人导航,减少探索时间。
Floor Plan-Guided Visual Navigation Incorporating Depth and Directional Cues
- 结合地图方向与实时深度图,动态预测下一步位置。
- 在FloNa基准上导航效率提升37%,成功率超90%。
- 适合需要快速精准导航的智能机器人场景。
当前视觉导航多采用先探索后定向的模式,导致整体效率低下。虽有研究尝试结合平面图与RGB图像引导智能体,但图像与地图间存在模态差异与内容错位问题。本文提出GlocDiff框架,通过基于扩散模型的策略持续预测未来路径点,该策略融合两个互补信息流:(1) 当前RGB观测中提取的局部深度线索,用于保障即时导航安全;(2) 从平面图中获取的全局方向指引,确保目标导向的高效性。在FloNa基准上的大量测试表明,GlocDiff在导航效率与准确性方面表现优异,且已在真实场景成功部署,展现出广泛的实用潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Current visual navigation strategies mainly follow an exploration-first and then goal-directed navigation paradigm. This exploratory phase inevitably compromises the overall efficiency of navigation. Recent studies propose leveraging floor plans alongside RGB inputs to guide agents, aiming for rapid navigation without prior exploration or mapping. Key issues persist despite early successes. The modal gap and content misalignment between floor plans and RGB images necessitate an efficient approach to extract the most salient and complementary features from both for reliable navigation. Here, we propose GlocDiff, a novel framework that employs a diffusion-based policy to continuously predict future waypoints. This policy is conditioned on two complementary information streams: (1) local depth cues derived from the current RGB observation, and (2) global directional guidance extracted from the floor plan. The former handles immediate navigation safety by capturing surrounding geometry, while the latter ensures goal-directed efficiency by offering definitive directional cues. Extensive evaluations on the FloNa benchmark demonstrate that GlocDiff achieves superior efficiency and effectiveness. Furthermore, its successful deployment in real-world scenarios underscores its strong potential for broad practical application.
