ASENA: Self-evolving Agents for Embodied Navigation

ASENA: Self-evolving Agents for Embodied Navigation

Summary

This paper introduces ASENA, an embodied agent system that enables general-purpose coding agents to program humanoid navigation, manipulation, and interaction. ASENA-VLN, a 4B monocular navigation policy, achieves state-of-the-art success rates on R2R and RxR benchmarks. Integration with coding agents improves success rates and reduces execution time, while persistent workspace evolution enhances performance through simulator feedback.

What the source reports

Publisher-reported claims, with original evidence. These results have not been independently verified by RoboSignal.

Reported numbers

  • Reported success rate

    68.7%

    View original evidence
    ieves state-of-the-art success rates of 68.7% on R2R and 70.2% on RxR. When integrated with a coding agent, learned navigation improves ASENA's success rate by 11 percentage points on both agentic benchmarks and reduces execution time. Persistent workspace evolution uses simulator feedback to improve success over ten passes through recurring 100-task subsets. Success increases from 72% to 98% on R2R and from 65% to 8
