# Nav-$R^2$: Dual-Relation Reasoning for Generalizable Open-Vocabulary Object-Goal Navigation

This repository contains the official implementation of the paper [Nav-$R^2$: Dual-Relation Reasoning for Generalizable Open-Vocabulary Object-Goal Navigation](https://huggingface.co/papers/2512.02400).

Object-goal navigation in open-vocabulary settings requires agents to locate novel objects in unseen environments. Nav-$R^2$ proposes a framework that explicitly models target-environment and environment-action relationships through structured Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning and a Similarity-Aware Memory. This approach enables state-of-the-art performance in localizing unseen objects efficiently while maintaining real-time inference.

For more details on the code, installation, training, and evaluation, please refer to the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/AMAP-EAI/Nav-R2).

### Results on OVON
Here shows the results on OVON dataset. Nav-R2 is trained via **ONLY SFT** receiving **ONLY RGB observations** from **ONLY first-person view**, and achieves the best SR on the val-unseen split.
