NavMCP Framework Couples VLM Reasoning with NFM Execution
August 30, 2026
NavMCP scaffolds foundation models for long-horizon navigation by pairing a Vision-Language Model (VLM) for high-level planning with a Navigation Foundation Model (NFM) for closed-loop execution. This approach allows agents to reason about distant goals while maintaining robust physical grounding.
