About this paper

Jungsoo Lee, Jaegyun Park, Wansoo Kim

The authors present reusable MCP tools that give large language models navigation context without modifying a robot’s ROS navigation stack. The tools convert occupancy grids into metric, pose-aware images and store natural-language observations with exploration waypoint poses. In a simulated warehouse, GPT-5.5 achieved 99.78% map coverage, 28/30 room-navigation successes, and 30/30 fire-extinguisher waypoint successes, under annotated-waypoint limitations.
