PIVOT: Physically Informed Vision-Language Off-Road Traversability for Field Robot Navigation
Terrain assessment is a critical capability for off-road mobile robots, enabling safe and reliable navigation through unstructured and geometrically complex environments. Conventional geometry-based terrain assessment is fast to compute but often overly conservative in unstructured environments. We present PIVOT: a Phy...
