NavDP

Sim-to-real navigation diffusion policy

Description

Robot navigation relies on mapping and planning that must be retuned for every robot and place. NavDP from Shanghai AI Lab is an end-to-end mapless navigation diffusion policy trained in simulation with privileged information and transferred to real robots of different forms.

The full LeKiwi deployment pipeline is open, from hardware to algorithm, published at ICRA 2026.
