ReInsVLN: Revisiting Historical Evidence for Training-Free Vision-and-Language Navigation

Motivated by this finding, we propose ReInsVLN, a training-free framework supporting memory construction and utilization in frozen navigators.

Key points

  • Vision-and-language navigation (VLN) relies on retaining and using relevant observations.
  • We introduce ReInsBench, a diagnostic benchmark that examines history utilization through controlled continuation trials.
  • Coverage- and Instruction-Aware Compression constructs compact visual context through temporal redundancy reduction, coverage-aware protection, and instruction-guided token selection.
  • Real-world trials on humanoid and quadruped robots further support the applicability of ReInsVLN to sequential instruction following and ordinal navigation.
