Systematic Multi-Agent Vision-and-Language Navigation: Formulation, Benchmark, and Method
arXiv cs.RO0 views
arXiv:2609.35965v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) has largely focused on a single agent following a single instruction, yet many real-world applications require teams of robots to tackle tasks beyond the capabilities of any individual agent. We present Systematic Multi-Agent Vision-and-Language Navigation, providing, to our knowledge, the first systematic formalization of multi-agent VLN as a constrained coordination problem: each mission consists of subtasks carrying dependency and resource constraints (presence locks and holding chains). A verified four-stage crafting pipeline instantiates the task as MAVLN, comprising 11,724 episodes across 145 scenes with teams of up to four agents under three instruction regimes, accompanied by tailored constraint-aware metrics. We further present TRISS, a coordination-ready navigation system coupling an LLM-based subtask scheduler, a shared topological memory that turns each agent's exploration into team knowledge, and a conflict-aware execution mechanism that realizes simultaneous intentions as collision-free routes. Extensive experiments establish TRISS as a comprehensive baseline and reveal substantial room for improvement across scheduling, planning, and execution, highlighting the challenges of coordinating under MAVLN task constraints.
