arXiv:2608.18470v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing visual navigation models often aim to develop foundation models that can generalize robot navigation across diverse platforms. However, many of these models are prone to collisions when deployed in complex indoor environments, particularly in structured layouts and narrow passages. To address this problem, we propose a depth image- and point-goal-conditioned navigation system, DevGRU.
