Abstract
Navigational systems and methods include building a topological graph of an environment using nodes that represent locations in the space and associated directions, with frontiers associated with particular nodes and directions within the topological graph. An action is determined using a policy trained with an action reward function that weighs exploration to find new objects and moving objects to a goal. An agent navigates within the environment in accordance with the determined action.
