A Comprehensive Survey and Systematic Real-World Evaluation of Embodied Vision-and-Language Navigation

arXiv:2607.09792v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Navigation is a fundamental capability of autonomous systems, yet most existing approaches rely on highly structured models and strong prior assumptions, limiting their robustness in open and uncertain real-world environments. Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) offers a promising direction by enabling robots to integrate natural language understanding with visual perception in a data-driven manner. Although VLN has attracted increasing research a...
