Abstract-- Existing navigation systems mostly consider "success" when the robot reaches within 1m radius to a goal. To this end, we design and implement Aim-My-Robot (AMR), a local navigation system that enables a robot to reach any object in its vicinity at the desired relative pose, with centimeterlevel precision. AMR shows strong sim2real transfer and can adapt to different robot kinematics and unseen objects with little to no fine-tuning. But this usually requires specific the goal reached when the robot is within 1m radius to the object information such as 3D models [13], and the object goal [8], [11], [12]. This lax definition of success hinders being initially visible. This limits its applicability when the their applicability to the growing need for mobile robots to object 3D model is not available or the object is initially out navigate to objects with precisely.
