GoViG: Goal-Conditioned Visual Navigation Instruction Generation via Multimodal Reasoning
We introduce Goal-Conditioned Visual Navigation Instruction Generation (GoViG), a new task that aims to generate contextually coherent navigation instructions solely from egocentric visual observations of initial and goal states. Unlike prior work relying on structured inputs, such as semantic annotations or environmental maps, GoViG exclusively leverages raw egocentric visual data, improving adaptability to unseen and unstructured environments. Our method addresses this task by decomposing it into two interconnected subtasks: (1) navigation visualization, predicting intermediate visual states bridging the initial and goal views; and (2) instruction generation, synthesizing coherent instructions grounded in observed and anticipated visuals. Both subtasks are integrated within an autoregressive multimodal LLM trained with tailored objectives to ensure spatial accuracy and linguistic clarity. Furthermore, we introduce two multimodal reasoning strategies, one-pass and interleaved reasoning, to mimic incremental human navigation cognition. To comprehensively evaluate our method, we propose the R2R-Goal dataset, combining diverse synthetic and real-world trajectories. Empirical results demonstrate significant performance improvements over state-of-the-art methods in BLEU-4 and CIDEr scores along with robust cross-domain generalization.

Policy-Guided World Model Planning for Language-Conditioned Visual Navigation
Navigating to a visually specified goal given natural language instructions remains a fundamental challenge in embodied AI. Existing approaches either rely on reactive policies that struggle with long-horizon planning, o…
Visual NavigationMapping Instructions to Actions in 3D Environments with Visual Goal Prediction
We propose to decompose instruction execution to goal prediction and action generation. We design a model that maps raw visual observations to goals using LINGUNET, a language-conditioned image generation network, and th…

A visually-grounded navigation instruction can be interpreted as a sequence of expected observations and actions an agent following the correct trajectory would encounter and perform. Based on this intuition, we formulat…

In cluttered environments, motion planners often face a trade-off between safety and speed due to uncertainty caused by occlusions and limited sensor range. In this work, we investigate whether co-pilot instructions can …
Language-Conditioned World Modeling for Visual Navigation
We study language-conditioned visual navigation (LCVN), in which an embodied agent is asked to follow a natural language instruction based only on an initial egocentric observation. Without access to goal images, the age…
