IMPRINT: Image-Conditioned Query Enrichment for Long-Tail Object Goal Navigation

arXiv:2607.25106v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Embodied AI increasingly relies on queryable semantic maps built from pre-trained vision-language models to enable zero-shot Object Goal Navigation (ObjectNav). However, existing approaches typically depend on text-only queries, which become less reliable as semantic specificity increases toward fine-grained object categories. We introduce IMPRINT, a zero-shot plug-and-play framework that enriches textual object queries with web-sourced images to i...
