• Abstract summary: The task of Visual Object Navigation (VON) involves an agent's ability to locate a particular object within a given scene. In real-world scenarios, it is often challenging to ensure that these conditions are always met. We propose Demand-driven Navigation (DDN), which leverages the user's demand as the task instruction.

• Abstract: The task of Visual Object Navigation (VON) involves an agent's ability to locate a particular object within a given scene. In order to successfully accomplish the VON task, two essential conditions must be fulfilled:1) the user must know the name of the desired object; and 2) the user-specified object must actually be present within the scene. To meet these conditions, a simulator can incorporate pre-defined object names and positions into the metadata of the scene. However, in real-world scenarios, it is often challenging to ensure that these conditions are always met. Human in an unfamiliar environment may not know which objects are present in the scene, or they may mistakenly specify an object that is not actually present. Nevertheless, despite these challenges, human may still have a demand for an object, which could potentially be fulfilled by other objects present within the scene in an equivalent manner. Hence, we propose Demand-driven Navigation (DDN), which leverages the user's demand as the task instruction and prompts the agent to find the object matches the specified demand. DDN aims to relax the stringent conditions of VON by focusing on fulfilling the user's demand rather than relying solely on predefined object categories or names. We propose a method first acquire textual attribute features of objects by extracting common knowledge from a large language model. These textual attribute features are subsequently aligned with visual attribute features using Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training (CLIP). By incorporating the visual attribute features as prior knowledge, we enhance the navigation process. Experiments on AI2Thor with the ProcThor dataset demonstrate the visual attribute features improve the agent's navigation performance and outperform the baseline methods commonly used in VON.

  The ability to actively ground task instructions from an egocentric view is crucial for AI agents to accomplish tasks or assist humans virtually. We propose to improve phrase grounding models' ability on localizing the active objects by: learning the role of objects undergoing change and extracting them accurately from the instructions. We evaluate our framework on Ego4D and Epic-Kitchens datasets.

  Task driven object detection aims to detect object instances suitable for affording a task in an image. Its challenge lies in object categories available for the task being too diverse to be limited to a closed set of object vocabulary for traditional object detection. We propose to explore fundamental affordances rather than object categories, i.e., common attributes that enable different objects to accomplish the same task.

  Vision-and-language navigation (VLN) is the task to enable an embodied agent to navigate to a remote location following the natural language instruction in real scenes. Most of the previous approaches utilize the entire features or object-centric features to represent navigable candidates. We propose a Knowledge Enhanced Reasoning Model (KERM) to leverage knowledge to improve agent navigation ability.

SceneGen takes a semantically segmented scene as input, and outputs positional and orientational probability maps for placing virtual content. We formulate a novel spatial Scene Graph representation, which encapsulates explicit topological properties between objects, object groups, and the room. To demonstrate our system in action, we develop an Augmented Reality application, in which objects can be contextually augmented in real-time.
