构建结构化空间记忆对复杂具身导航任务中的长时推理至关重要。现有方法多采用分离的两阶段范式:先收集环境数据,再离线重建记忆。这种事后、以几何为中心的方法难以利用高层语义信息,常忽略门、楼梯等关键导航地标。为此,我们提出ABot-Explorer,一种将记忆构建与探索融合的在线RGB-only框架。其核心是利用大视觉语言模型(VLMs)提取语义导航属性(SNA),作为认知对齐的导航锚点,引导智能体移动。通过动态整合这些SNA至分层SG-Memo,该框架模仿人类探索逻辑,优先访问结构化通行节点,实现高效覆盖。为支持此框架,我们扩展InteriorGS数据集,加入SNA与SG-Memo标注。实验表明,ABot-Explorer在探索效率和环境覆盖率上显著优于现有最优方法,且生成的SG-Memo能有效支持多种下游任务。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Constructing structured spatial memory is essential for enabling long-horizon reasoning in complex embodied navigation tasks. Current memory construction predominantly relies on a decoupled, two-stage paradigm: agents first aggregate environmental data through exploration, followed by the offline reconstruction of spatial memory. However, this post-hoc and geometry-centric approach precludes agents from leveraging high-level semantic intelligence, often causing them to overlook navigationally critical landmarks (e.g., doorways and staircases) that serve as fundamental semantic anchors in human cognitive maps. To bridge this gap, we propose ABot-Explorer, a novel active exploration framework that unifies memory construction and exploration into an online, RGB-only process. At its core, ABot-Explorer leverages Large Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to distill Semantic Navigational Affordances (SNA), which act as cognitive-aligned anchors to guide the agent's movement. By dynamically integrating these SNAs into a hierarchical SG-Memo, ABot-Explorer mirrors human-like exploratory logic by prioritizing structural transit nodes to facilitate efficient coverage. To support this framework, we contribute a large-scale dataset extending InteriorGS with SNA and SG-Memo annotations. Experimental results demonstrate that ABot-Explorer significantly outperforms current state-of-the-art methods in both exploration efficiency and environment coverage, while the resulting SG-Memo is shown to effectively support diverse downstream tasks.
