AI总结:
VLNVerse是一个大规模、可扩展的视觉语言导航基准,通过多用途、具身体验和逼真模拟提升导航任务的泛化能力与研究效率。
摘要:
尽管在视觉语言导航(VLN)方面取得了显著进展,现有的基准仍然局限于固定、小规模的数据集和简单的物理模拟。这些不足限制了基准在模拟到现实泛化方面的洞察力,并造成了显著的研究空白。此外,任务碎片化阻碍了该领域的统一/共享进步,而有限的数据规模无法满足现代基于大语言模型(LLM)的预训练需求。为了克服这些限制,我们引入了VLNVerse:一个新规模大、可扩展的基准,用于多用途、具身体验、逼真模拟和评估。VLNVerse重新定义了VLN为一个可扩展的全栈具身体验AI问题。其多用途性质将之前碎片化的任务统一到一个框架中,并为研究人员提供了可扩展的工具包。其具身体验设计超越了不具身体验和传送的“幽灵”代理,支持在由强大物理引擎驱动的逼真模拟中的完整运动学。我们利用VLNVerse的规模和多样性,对现有方法进行全面评估,从经典模型到基于LLM的代理。我们还提出了一种新的统一多任务模型,能够解决基准中的所有任务。VLNVerse旨在缩小模拟导航与现实泛化之间的差距,为社区提供一个重要的工具,推动研究向可扩展、通用的具身体验移动代理发展。
英文摘要:
Despite remarkable progress in Vision-Language Navigation (VLN), existing benchmarks remain confined to fixed, small-scale datasets with naive physical simulation. These shortcomings limit the insight that the benchmarks provide into sim-to-real generalization, and create a significant research gap. Furthermore, task fragmentation prevents unified/shared progress in the area, while limited data scales fail to meet the demands of modern LLM-based pretraining. To overcome these limitations, we introduce VLNVerse: a new large-scale, extensible benchmark designed for Versatile, Embodied, Realistic Simulation, and Evaluation. VLNVerse redefines VLN as a scalable, full-stack embodied AI problem. Its Versatile nature unifies previously fragmented tasks into a single framework and provides an extensible toolkit for researchers. Its Embodied design moves beyond intangible and teleporting "ghost" agents that support full-kinematics in a Realistic Simulation powered by a robust physics engine. We leverage the scale and diversity of VLNVerse to conduct a comprehensive Evaluation of existing methods, from classic models to MLLM-based agents. We also propose a novel unified multi-task model capable of addressing all tasks within the benchmark. VLNVerse aims to narrow the gap between simulated navigation and real-world generalization, providing the community with a vital tool to boost research towards scalable, general-purpose embodied locomotion agents.
