Learning Adaptive Safety Margins for Visual Navigation

Robots in cluttered indoor spaces often fail not because they cannot generate collision-free paths, but because a fixed safety margin is mis-calibrated: conservative margins cause detours and timeouts, while permissive margins lead to near-boundary shortcuts under perception bias. Diffusion-based planners propose diverse trajectory candidates from egocentric RGB-D, yet reliable selection remains the bottleneck. We propose a context-conditioned safety critic that learns an adaptive clearance…
