arXiv:2603.03745v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-Language Navigation (VLN) is evolving from single-point pathfinding toward the more challenging Multi-Goal VLN. This task requires agents to accurately identify multiple entities while collaboratively reasoning over their spatial-physical constraints and sequential execution order. However, generic Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) paradigms often suffer from spatial hallucinations and planning drift when handling multi-object associations due to the lack of explicit spatial modeling.To address these challenges, we propose RAGNav, a framework that bridges the gap between semantic reasoning and physical structure. The core of RAGNav is a Dual-Basis Memory system, which integrates a low-level topological map for maintaining physical connectivity with a high-level semantic forest for hierarchical environment abstraction. Building on this representation, the framework introduces an anchor-guided conditional retrieval and a topological neighbor score propagation mechanism. This approach facilitates the rapid screening of candidate targets and the elimination of semantic noise, while performing semantic calibration by leveraging the physical associations inherent in the topological neighborhood.This mechanism significantly enhances the capability of inter-target reachability reasoning and the efficiency of sequential planning. Experimental results demonstrate that RAGNav achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance in complex multi-goal navigation tasks.

arXiv:2603.03024v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language Navigation (VLN) aims to empower robots with the ability to perform long-horizon navigation in unfamiliar environments based on complex linguistic instructions. Its success critically hinges on establishing an efficient ``language-understanding -- visual-perception -- embodied-execution'' closed loop. Existing methods often suffer from perceptual distortion and decision drift in complex, long-distance tasks due to the cognitive overload of a single agent. Inspired by distributed cognition theory, this paper proposes MA-CoNav, a Multi-Agent Collaborative Navigation framework. This framework adopts a ``Master-Slave'' hierarchical agent collaboration architecture, decoupling and distributing the perception, planning, execution, and memory functions required for navigation tasks to specialized agents. Specifically, the Master Agent is responsible for global orchestration, while the Subordinate Agent group collaborates through a clear division of labor: an Observation Agent generates environment descriptions, a Planning Agent performs task decomposition and dynamic verification, an Execution Agent handles simultaneous mapping and action, and a Memory Agent manages structured experiences. Furthermore, the framework introduces a ``Local-Global'' dual-stage reflection mechanism to dynamically optimize the entire navigation pipeline. Empirical experiments were conducted using a real-world indoor dataset collected by a Limo Pro robot, with no scene-specific fine-tuning performed on the models throughout the process. The results demonstrate that MA-CoNav comprehensively outperforms existing mainstream VLN methods across multiple metrics.
