StopWatch is claimed to set a new state of the art on six object-goal navigation benchmarks

A StopWatch researcher says the navigation agent explicitly grounds its goal before every action and sets a new state of the art on six object-goal navigation benchmarks. In a flower-vase demo, both StopWatch and LightNav-0 reach the goal, but only StopWatch stops; LightNav-0 turns away and keeps going. The researcher says the project's code, models and data are open source.
