Vision-based omnidirectional-navigation paper trains teacher policy in NVIDIA Isaac Lab
Evidence notes
- The paper presents a teacher-student approach for vision-based mobile robot navigation using monocular depth estimation.
- A teacher policy is trained with PPO in NVIDIA Isaac Lab using privileged 2D LiDAR observations before distillation to a monocular-depth student policy.
