RAVEN: Long-Horizon Reasoning and Navigation with a Visuo-Spatio-Temporal Memory

Yixun Hu*, Zhicheng Zheng*, Lihan Zha, Chunwei Xing, Rajdeep Singh, Omar Hossain, Antonio Loquercio, and Dhruv Shah

arXiv 2026

An agentic system for robotic question-answering and navigation that stores visual embeddings with pose and time in a vector database, grounding retrieval in a spatial map to answer queries with navigation goals.

It retains over 97% of its performance on frontier base models and still preserves 67% on small open-source models, while achieving over 250× storage compression without accuracy loss and 10× greater retrieval efficiency compared to a naïve VLM.
