  • 用语言模型理解指令并生成路线点,不依赖预建地图。
  • 复杂场景自动停等,安全行为由高层模型判断。
  • 适合户外助人任务,兼顾长程规划与实时安全。

在开放户外环境中协助人类,要求机器人将高层自然语言指令转化为安全、长时程且符合社交规范的导航行为。现有基于地图的方法依赖昂贵的高精地图,而学习型策略多局限于室内和短程场景。为此,我们提出 Walk with Me——一种无需地图的长时程社交导航框架,可从高层人类指令中实现导航。该框架利用GPS上下文及公开地图API提供的轻量级兴趣点,实现语义目的地定位与路径点建议;高层视觉-语言模型将抽象指令转化为具体目的地,并规划粗略的路径序列;执行阶段,观测感知路由机制判断低层视觉-语言-动作策略是否足以应对当前情况,或是否需要高层模型进行显式安全推理。常规路段由低层策略执行,而如人群密集交叉口等复杂场景则触发高层推理并采取停等行为。通过结合语义意图定位、无地图长程规划、安全感知推理与低层动作生成,Walk with Me 实现了面向人类中心的实用户外社交导航。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Assisting humans in open-world outdoor environments requires robots to translate high-level natural-language intentions into safe, long-horizon, and socially compliant navigation behavior. Existing map-based methods rely on costly pre-built HD maps, while learning-based policies are mostly limited to indoor and short-horizon settings. To bridge this gap, we propose Walk with Me, a map-free framework for long-horizon social navigation from high-level human instructions. Walk with Me leverages GPS context and lightweight candidate points-of-interest from a public map API for semantic destination grounding and waypoint proposal. A High-Level Vision-Language Model grounds abstract instructions into concrete destinations and plans coarse waypoint sequences. During execution, an observation-aware routing mechanism determines whether the Low-Level Vision-Language-Action policy can handle the current situation or whether explicit safety reasoning from the High-Level VLM is needed. Routine segments are executed by the Low-Level VLA, while complex situations such as crowded crossings trigger high-level reasoning and stop-and-wait behavior when unsafe. By combining semantic intent grounding, map-free long-horizon planning, safety-aware reasoning, and low-level action generation, Walk with Me enables practical outdoor social navigation for human-centric assistance.
