NavGen uses generative models to create large-scale datasets for 3D navigation

Researchers have developed NavGen, a novel text-to-video data generation pipeline that utilizes high-fidelity visual generative models to create large-scale datasets for embodied 3D navigation. This approach aims to overcome the limitations of existing datasets, which either suffer from the sim-to-real gap or are costly to collect. NavGen produces approximately 400,000 navigation episodes, including style-diversified data for long-tail scenarios, and has demonstrated improved performance and real-world transferability compared to models trained on existing datasets.

    NavGen: Visual Generative Models as a Scalable Data Engine for Embodied 3D Navigation

    arXiv:2609.30770v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: General-purpose robot models increasingly rely on large and diverse datasets. For embodied 3D navigation, however, existing data sources face a fundamental trade-off: simulated data can be generated at scale but often suffer from …
