Article Summary

Image-goal navigation is a key challenge in embodied robotics, where an agent must reach a target specified solely by a goal image. While existing reinforcement learning approaches map perceptual observations directly to actions, they struggle to model long-horizon dependencies, often leading to suboptimal trajectories. To address this limitation, we propose RoamFlow, a generative navigation framework that leverages MeanFlow to predict the average velocity field for trajectory synthesis, enabling efficient few-step generation and reducing inference latency. We further adopt a two-stage training strategy that combines expert imitation for stable initialization with reinforcement learning for task-specific policy refinement. Extensive experiments in both Habitat simulation and real-world robotic platforms demonstrate that RoamFlow achieves efficient inference while maintaining strong navigation performance under real-time constraints.
