SpaceVLN: A Zero-Shot Vision-and-Language Navigation Agent with Online Spatial Cognitive Memory and Reasoning 文章

arXiv:2606.08992v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-and-Language Navigation in continuous environments requires agents to understand the spatial structure of previously unseen environments in order to follow language instructions. Although foundation models have opened a promising path toward zero-shot navigation without task-specific policy training, many navigators still rely on local visual cues and linear history-based reasoning, overlooking the spatial nature of navigation across explored regions, traversed paths, landmarks, and their spatial relations. In this paper, we propose SpaceVLN, a navigation agent built around Spatial Cognitive Memory and Task-Guided Spatial Reasoning. Specifically, SpaceVLN introduces an efficient stagewise closed-loop framework where planning and execution are organized around verifiable space--landmark stages.
