Master Thesis on “Fine-tuning Open-source LLMs for Processing Open-vocabulary Commands for Robotic Navigation”

Most of the systems performing open-vocabulary navigation use closed LLMs accessible via an API. If this kind of systems are to be adopted for practical robotic applications, it is important that the information is not sent to third-party systems. The goal of the project is to evaluate fine-tuning of local open-source models for processing natural language commands for robotic navigation.
