120 Minutes and a Laptop: Minimalist Image-goal Navigation via Unsupervised Exploration and Offline RL

2026-03-27 · Xiaoming Liu, Borong Zhang, Qingbiao Li, Steven Morad arxiv

The prevailing paradigm for image-goal visual navigation often assumes access to large-scale datasets, substantial pretraining, and significant computational resources. In this work, we challenge this assumption. We show that we can collect a dataset, train an in-domain policy, and deploy it to the real world (1) in less than 120 minutes, (2) on a consumer laptop, (3) without any human intervention. Our method, MINav, formulates image-goal navigation as an offline goal-conditioned reinforcement learning problem, combining unsupervised data collection with hindsight goal relabeling and offline policy learning. Experiments in simulation and the real world show that MINav improves exploration efficiency, outperforms zero-shot navigation baselines in target environments, and scales favorably with dataset size. These results suggest that effective real-world robotic learning can be achieved with high computational efficiency, lowering the barrier to rapid policy prototyping and deployment.

Semi-parametric Topological Memory for Navigation

2018-03-01 · ICLR 2018 1 · Nikolay Savinov, Alexey Dosovitskiy, Vladlen Koltun

We introduce a new memory architecture for navigation in previously unseen environments, inspired by landmark-based navigation in animals. The proposed semi-parametric topological memory (SPTM) consists of a (non-paramet…
