Hamsters, wolves, chimpanzees, and bats leverage prior exploration to determine and follow shortcuts they may never have taken before (Chapuis &amp; Scardigli, 1993; Harten, Katz, Goldshtein, Handel, &amp; Yovel, 2020; Menzel, 1973; Peters, 1976; Toledo et al., 2020). Even blind mole rats and animals rendered situationally-blind in dark environments demonstrate shortcut behaviors (Avni, Tzvaigrach, &amp; Eilam, 2008; Kimchi, Etienne, &amp; Terkel, 2004; Maaswinkel &amp; Whishaw, 1999). Ants forage for food along meandering paths but take near-optimal return trips (M\u00fcller &amp; Wehner, 1988), though there is some controversy about whether insects like ants and bees are capable of forming maps (Cheung et al., 2014; Cruse &amp; Wehner, 2011).\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1145\/3609468.3609471","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,10]],"date-time":"2023-10-10T16:44:07Z","timestamp":1696956247000},"page":"8-14","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1145\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Emergence of Maps in the Memories of Blind Navigation Agents"],"prefix":"10.1145","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Erik","family":"Wijmans","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Georgia Institute of Technology &amp; FAIR, Meta AI"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Manolis","family":"Savva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Simon Fraser University &amp; FAIR, Meta AI"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Irfan","family":"Essa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Georgia Institute of Technology"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stefan","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oregon State University"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ari S.","family":"Morcos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"FAIR, Meta AI"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dhruv","family":"Batra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"FAIR, Meta AI &amp; Georgia Institute of Technology"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"320","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_1_1","volume-title":"On evaluation of embodied navigation agents.
