AgentVLN: VLM-as-Brain Architecture for Agentic Robot Navigation at ECCV 2026

AgentVLN introduces a VLM-as-Brain architecture for vision-language navigation, using cross-space representation mapping to translate 3D paths into 2D visual prompts, context-driven self-correction for error recovery, and query-driven perceptual chain-of-thought for active information gathering, achieving state-of-the-art results on R2R-CE and RxR-CE benchmarks with a 3B model deployable on Jetson edge devices.
