Navigation with RF Cues: Embodied Perception Action under Multipath Uncertainty

Building on this benchmark, we propose an uncertainty aware multimodal navigation framework that jointly estimates target direction and its uncertainty from a history of RF, visual, and pose observations.

Key points

  • Smart factory inspection requires robots to reach connected equipment without a prior map or known target coordinates.
  • Radio frequency (RF) signals from the target can provide directional cues to complement visual observations when occlusion or poor lighting limits target detection.
  • To enable navigation research under these conditions, we first construct a Habitat Sionna RT benchmark that uses detailed scene geometry and assigned material properties to generate aligned visual and RF observations in response to robot actions.
  • These estimates inform action selection alongside visual context.
