iCrowdNav encodes egocentric visual observations with occupancy features and human pose intentions to improve DRL policies for crowd navigation, showing better performance than baselines in experiments and real-world tests.
SALSA aligns social features and adds future-risk signals in VLA models to cut near-collisions by 86.4% and raise social accuracy from 53% to 93% on SCAND and real robots.
AutoSpatial improves VLM spatial reasoning for social navigation by combining minimal manual supervision with auto-labeled VQA pairs and hierarchical training, showing gains up to 20.5% in action prediction over baselines.
Multimodal explainability module using vision-language models and heat maps enables robots to generate natural-language summaries of navigation observations, with n=30 user studies showing majority preference for real-time explanations and improved trust.
