One Scan is Enough: Demonstration-Free Adaptation for Language-Guided Navigation
Overview
This research proposes a method to adapt language-guided navigation policies without human demonstrations, using a single iPhone scan to create a training environment. The approach, called Scan2Instruction, synthesizes navigation episodes with grounded instructions and adapts policies through a closed-form Pareto utility. It achieves an 85% real-robot success rate across five real environments, outperforming baselines trained on human demonstrations.
