Why it matters
Existing VLN benchmarks for POI-goal navigation suffer from coarse granularity or sim-to-real gaps. POINav-Bench provides high-fidelity real-world environments, enabling evaluation of final-meters navigation capabilities that are critical for practical deployment.
Motivation
Real-world navigation is fundamentally driven by Points of Interest (POIs), yet reaching a precise POI remains a critical "final-meters" challenge.
