图像目标导航依赖于潜在世界模型的未来预测准确性和可靠的规划成本排序。本文将成本定义为预测未来嵌入与目标嵌入之间的余弦距离,发现不良的成本排序会误导基于采样的规划器(如交叉熵方法)。为此,提出一种基于冻结DINO家族编码器的潜在世界模型,通过两个互补目标进行训练:自回归滚动损失减少训练与多步规划滚动之间的差距,单调成本排序(MCR)损失直接促使扰动更大的动作序列获得更高规划成本。研究还发现,基于InfoNCE的动作对比训练中,时间置换负样本会扭曲潜在空间几何结构,损害规划性能。在GNM导航数据集上,该方法超越了导航世界模型(NWM)、DINO-WM、OmniVLA和NoMaD,实现当前最佳图像目标导航表现,且相比同编码器的DINO WM基线,方向误差降低2.7倍。此外,模型在物理机器人上实现了零样本部署,在未见的室内外环境中均能遵循目标导向路径。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Image-goal navigation with latent world models requires not only accurate future prediction, but also a planning cost that reliably ranks candidate action sequences. We define the cost as the cosine distance between the predicted future embedding and the goal embedding, and show that poor cost ordering can mislead sampling-based planners such as Cross-Entropy Method (CEM). To address this, we propose a latent world model built on a frozen DINO-family encoder and train it with two complementary objectives. An autoregressive rollout loss reduces the gap between training and multi-step planning rollouts, while a Monotone Cost Ranking (MCR) loss directly encourages increasingly perturbed action sequences to receive higher planning costs. We also study InfoNCE-based action-contrastive training and find that temporal permutation negatives distort the latent geometry and degrade planning performance. On the GNM navigation dataset, our method outperforms Navigation World Models (NWM), DINO-WM, OmniVLA, and NoMaD, achieving state-of-the-art image-goal navigation performance while reducing orientation error by $2.7\times$ over the same-encoder DINO WM baseline. We also deploy the model zero-shot on a physical robot, where it follows goal-directed paths in unseen indoor and outdoor environments.
