VLM-GroNav evaluates physically grounded outdoor navigation on Clearpath Husky

Evidence notes

• The VLM-GroNav paper combines vision-language models with physically grounded proprioceptive signals for outdoor terrain navigation.
• The authors validate the method on a Clearpath Husky and a Ghost Vision 60 across deformable and slippery outdoor terrain.
• The reported experiments show navigation-success improvements by grounding semantic terrain understanding in real physical interaction data.
