EchoNav turns recent RGB images into a local bird’s-eye map that carries earlier visual evidence forward, predicts occluded occupancy, and represents prediction reliability without depth, camera poses, or geometric warping. A planner uses the map while handling robot constraints. In sequential two-goal simulation, it succeeds in 86.3% of episodes, 32.2 points above the strongest evaluated baseline, with current route waypoints provided.
