PathPainter: Transferring the Generalization Ability of Image Generation Models to Embodied Navigation

Fei Gao, Mo Zhu, Weiqi Gai, Xijie Huang, Xin Zhou, Yijin Wang, Yuru Tian, Yuze Wu

Image generation models interpret natural language to create traversability masks on bird's-eye-view images for guiding robot navigation.

Claims

C1strongest claim

This work demonstrates how the world-understanding capabilities of foundation models can be transferred to embodied navigation, enabling robots to benefit from the strong generalization ability of existing image generation models.

C2weakest assumption

The image generation model can reliably interpret natural language intent and produce accurate traversability masks from BEV images that a conventional local motion planner can use successfully for long-range tasks.

C3one line summary

PathPainter transfers image generation models to embodied navigation by generating traversability masks from BEV images and language instructions while using cross-view localization to reduce odometry drift.
