Context Aware Navigation

Context-aware navigation focuses on enabling robots and autonomous systems to navigate complex and dynamic environments by intelligently incorporating contextual information, such as environmental features, user instructions, and robot capabilities. Current research emphasizes leveraging large pre-trained vision-language models and reinforcement learning to interpret diverse input modalities (e.g., images, natural language instructions, sensor data) and generate robust, adaptable navigation policies. This field is crucial for advancing robotics, assistive technologies for visually impaired individuals, and autonomous vehicle development, promising safer and more efficient navigation in unstructured and unpredictable settings.
