#1 LOG-Nav: Efficient Layout-Aware Object-Goal Navigation with Hierarchical Planning [PDF] [Copy] [Kimi] [REL]

Authors: Jiawei Hou, Yuting Xiao, Xiangyang Xue, Taiping Zeng

We introduce LOG-Nav, an efficient layout-aware object-goal navigation approach designed for complex multi-room indoor environments. By planning hierarchically leveraging a global topologigal map with layout information and local imperative approach with detailed scene representation memory, LOG-Nav achieves both efficient and effective navigation. The process is managed by an LLM-powered agent, ensuring seamless effective planning and navigation, without the need for human interaction, complex rewards, or costly training. Our experimental results on the MP3D benchmark achieves 85% object navigation success rate (SR) and 79% success rate weighted by path length (SPL) (over 40% point improvement in SR and 60% improvement in SPL compared to exsisting methods). Furthermore, we validate the robustness of our approach through virtual agent and real-world robotic deployment, showcasing its capability in practical scenarios.
