Sensor-Layout-Agnostic Navigation via Geometric Observation Canonicalization
arXiv cs.RO0 views
arXiv:2610.08306v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing visual navigation policies are inherently bound to fixed camera configurations, creating a fundamental barrier to zero-shot deployment across heterogeneous robot sensor layouts. To overcome this limitation, we present an embodiment-informed navigation policy capable of generalizing across diverse depth sensor configurations on a specific aerial platform. Instead of implicitly learning spatial alignments, our approach explicitly unprojects depth measurements from arbitrary depth sensor payloads, varying in sensor count, mounting extrinsics, and intrinsics, into a shared robot-centric frame, stitching them into a unified spherical range image and a binary validity mask. This mask allows the downstream policy to explicitly distinguish covered space from unobserved blind spots. Trained via reinforcement learning with aggressive camera randomization, our policy generalizes zero-shot to unseen layouts featuring up to seven cameras, scaling success rates from 78% to 95% as total spatial sensing coverage increases. Finally, real-world flight trials on a physical quadrotor, conducted in an obstacle-filled corridor and an outdoor forest, validate the policy's zero-shot transfer across camera configurations and its resilience to sudden online sensor dropouts.
