Official code and pre-trained checkpoints for the GNM, ViNT, and NoMaD family of general-purpose goal-conditioned visual navigation policies for mobile robots. It includes training and fine-tuning scripts, dataset processing tools, and ROS-based deployment scripts for robots like TurtleBot2 and LoCoBot.

Use cases

  • deploy a pretrained visual navigation policy on a mobile robot
  • fine-tune a navigation foundation model on custom robot trajectory data
  • convert rosbag demo trajectories into topological maps for navigation
  • run zero-shot goal-directed navigation across different robot embodiments
  • use NoMaD for autonomous exploration of an environment
  • train goal-conditioned navigation models from images

When to choose

  • you need a ready-to-deploy visual navigation policy for a ROS-supported mobile robot
  • you want to fine-tune a cross-embodiment navigation foundation model on your own data
  • you are doing research on generalist robot navigation policies

When to avoid

  • you need navigation for autonomous cars or outdoor vehicles with GPS/HD maps
  • your robot does not support ROS or camera-based control
  • you need a production-grade navigation stack with SLAM and obstacle avoidance guarantees
