## Summary

The study proposes a language-driven navigation framework that enables mobile robots to understand natural-language requests such as "go to the mailbox," identify the referenced object, estimate its position using RGB-D data, and generate a navigation goal that is then executed by the ROS 2 Nav2 navigation stack.
