SNAP: Semantic Navigation Among Pedestrians

SNAP: Semantic Navigation Among Pedestrians

Summary

This paper introduces SNAP, a reinforcement learning navigation policy that jointly handles semantic terrain and dynamic obstacles using a single semantically annotated bird's-eye-view map. The approach avoids explicit human-state estimation and outperforms existing baselines in crowd avoidance and semantic path planning. It demonstrates zero-shot transfer to a legged robot, enabling socially compliant navigation in highly dynamic real-world environments.

Editorial context

The authors present a reinforcement learning policy that jointly reasons about semantic terrain and dynamic obstacles from a single annotated bird's-eye-view map, achieving zero-shot transfer to a legged robot in real-world crowded scenarios without explicit human-state estimation.
