Schrödinger's Navigator: Imagining an Ensemble of Futures for Zero-Shot Object Navigation
Description
Zero-shot object navigation (ZSON) requires robots to locate target objects in unseen environments without task-specific fine-tuning or pre-built maps, a capability crucial for service and household robotics. Existing methods perform well in simulation but struggle in realistic, cluttered environments where heavy occlusions and latent hazards make large portions of the scene unobserved. These approaches typically act on a single inferred scene, making them prone to overcommitment and unsafe beha
