How did the robot know the global goal's location、

Hi , I've read your paper and I 'm confused about how the robot know the location of global goal. The environment is unknow and the global goal is unseen so how does the robot identify the position of the global target?

Hi,

In paper, section IV.C you will see the given coordinates for the experiments. Since it is a goal-driven approach, the goal needs to be specified beforehand. So we manually specify the goal that we want to reach as a set of coordinates in the robots starting frame and then keep track of it throughout the exploration. In the code it can be seen here:

GDAE/Code/GDAM_args.py

Line 47 in fc793ed

parser.add_argument("--x", help="X coordinate of the goal",
