contents Agricultural robotic agents have been becoming useful helpers in a wide range of agricultural tasks. However, they still heavily rely on manual operations or fixed railways for movement. To address this limitation, the AgriVLN method and the A2A benchmark pioneeringly extend Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) to the agricultural domain, enabling agents to navigate to the target positions following the natural language instructions. We observe that AgriVLN can effectively understands the simple instructions, but often misunderstands the complex ones. To bridge this gap, we propose the T-araVLN method, in which we build the instruction translator module to translate noisy and mistaken instructions into refined and precise representations. When evaluated on A2A, our T-araVLN successfully improves Success Rate (SR) from 0.47 to 0.63 and reduces Navigation Error (NE) from 2.91m to 2.28m, demonstrating the state-of-the-art performance in the agricultural VLN domain.
