I2O2I-Nav: A Benchmark with a Modular Agent for Long-Horizon Indoor-to-Outdoor-to-Indoor Navigation

We introduce I2O2I-Nav, a physics-enabled benchmark of 20 real-world composite scenes spanning over 115,000 square meters across multiple buildings and floors, with aligned 3DGS rendering and collision geometry.

Key points

  • Service and delivery robots often need to complete long-horizon navigation missions spanning indoor and outdoor environments.
  • Existing embodied navigation benchmarks primarily evaluate isolated stages or partial cross-domain journeys, providing limited support for assessing how heterogeneous navigation capabilities compose under continuous execution.
  • We further propose the MODULAR-Agent that coordinates frozen navigation policies through completion verification, stage handoffs, and bounded recovery.
  • Stage-wise analysis shows that the MODULAR-Agent enables more missions to reach the final object-navigation stage, where conditional success remains low, revealing challenges in both long-horizon stage execution and completion decisions.
