GLST: Global-Local Spatio-Temporal Memory Decomposition Framework for Online Chained-Goal Navigation

We propose Global-Local Spatio-Temporal Belief Learning (GLST), a memory-decomposition framework that separates latent beliefs into global-local spatial and long-short temporal representations for long-horizon reasoning.

Key points

  • Autonomous navigation in real-world environments often requires long-horizon operation under partial observability and evolving goals.
  • We study online chained-goal navigation, where goals evolve through existing-goal redirection or new-goal emergence without explicit transition signals.
  • Extensive experiments in simulation across diverse terrains demonstrate improved chained-goal navigation performance over baselines.
  • Real-robot experiments using the Spot quadruped further validate our memory decomposition framework.
