Researchers have introduced RVN-Bench, a new benchmark designed to evaluate reactive visual navigation for indoor mobile robots. This benchmark addresses limitations in existing systems by focusing on collision avoidance in previously unseen environments, utilizing visual observations without a prior map. RVN-Bench is built on the Habitat 2.0 simulator with HM3D scenes and offers tools for both online reinforcement learning and data generation for training and evaluation, showing promising results for sim-to-real transfer with a Jackal UGV.
