Original abstract

Reliable mobile manipulation in dynamic indoor environments requires a scene representation that remains geometrically consistent, semantically queryable, and computationally bounded as the environment changes. Existing systems often rely on pre-built maps, static-scene assumptions, or highly accurate camera poses, which can lead to stale or misaligned scene information when target objects are relocated or pose estimates are corrected. This paper presents DREAM, a real-robot mobile manipulation framework that integrates perception, memory, localization, navigation, and manipulation in previously unseen indoor environments without a pre-built map. DREAM constructs an online spatio-semantic voxel memory from RGB-D observations registered by a LiDAR-inertial-visual SLAM backend. It further introduces pose-graph-aware Redundancy-Aware Memory Pruning (RMP) to update historical observations after pose corrections while keeping long-horizon observation history bounded. For target localization and reacquisition, DREAM combines language-conditioned 3D retrieval, open-vocabulary image detection, and multimodal large language model based semantic verification. Real-robot experiments in four dynamic indoor laboratory scenes show that DREAM improves long-horizon task success rates from 40%-60% with DynaMem to 55%-70%, while maintaining a memory footprint of 0.37-0.63 GB and an online memory-update time of 0.43-0.53 s across scenes.
