"Traditional robot navigation often fails when faced with complex, multi-step instructions or unknown environments, resulting in inefficient 'aimless wandering.' addresses this by intertwining neural semantic understanding with symbolic 3D scene graphs. This allows the robot to decompose abstract commands—like finding a waterproof jacket based on a rain report—into logical navigation goals." 2. Key Technical Features (Good for Specs)
