PathPainter uses an image-generation model to mark a destination and paint traversable regions on an overhead map. A* search converts the prior into a route, while localization corrects drift and a local planner handles tracking. A quadruped completed a 285-meter route in nine of ten trials without intervention or collision; the failure involved localization error. These results are limited to one route.
