Benchmarking Interaction, Beyond Policy: a Reproducible Benchmark for Collaborative Instance Object Navigation

1. 1Design a collaborative instance object navigation task with partial observability
2. 2Implement an embodied agent with egocentric visual observations and interactive natural-language dialogue
3. 3Evaluate the agent's navigation and question asking abilities using the QAsk-Nav benchmark
4. 4Analyze the results to identify areas for improvement and fine-tune the model

AI researchers and engineers working on collaborative agents and navigation tasks can benefit from this benchmark to evaluate and improve their models, while product managers can use it to inform the development of more effective human-agent interaction systems

💡 Separate assessment of embodied navigation and collaborative question asking is crucial for improving agent performance in CoIN tasks
