Researchers have developed a new method for robots to navigate cluttered indoor environments by learning adaptive safety margins. This approach uses a context-conditioned safety critic to rank diffusion-based trajectory proposals, balancing safety with efficiency. The system, trained in simulation, successfully transfers to a Unitree G1 humanoid robot and navigates complex scenes without task-specific tuning, achieving high success rates on benchmarks like PointGoal navigation in HM3D and MP3D.
