RTNav: Towards Real-Time Zero-Shot Object Navigation

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 27, 2026 · UTC

Navigation in unknown environments to find unforeseen objects has become increasingly feasible with capable vision and language foundation models. However, these models also introduce non-negligible inference latency, which becomes an important concern when agents must operate continuously in the real world. Most state-of-the-art methods are still developed in synchronous simulators, where the environment waits for the agent to act and inference time is effectively free. As a result, agents are often designed around the sequential execution of perception, reasoning, and action, with little reg
