Special Issue on Embodied Artificial Intelligence for Robotic Vision and Navigation Submission Date: 2025-01-30 Embodied Artificial Intelligence has emerged as an essential area for research and applications. Unlike traditional AI systems that operate solely in the digital realm, Embodied AI seeks to imbue machines with a physical presence, enabling them to perceive, interact, and learn from the real world. Robotic Vision and Navigation integrates computer vision techniques to process and make sense of visual data, such as images or videos, allowing the AI system to perceive obstacles, recognize landmarks, and navigate through complex surroundings. This capability is essential for embodied AI to function autonomously in diverse environments, such as homes, offices, or outdoor spaces. This special issue seeks original contributions towards advancing the theory, architecture, and algorithmic design for Vision and Navigation systems in Embodied AI, as well as their novel applications and use cases. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) with:

Embodied Artificial Intelligence

Robotic Vision

Visual-Language Navigation

Embodied AI with Large foundation Models

Embodied Question Answering

Multi-modality Fusion and Understanding

Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning
