## Summary

The authors propose IndustryNav, a simulation environment with 24 warehouse scenes for closed-loop navigation to specified destinations, and introduce safety metrics that record collisions and near-collision warnings. Experiments with 11 leading open- and closed-source VLLMs and 3 navigation baselines show that agents can reach their goals yet collide with moving obstacles, exposing a gap between task success and safe navigation.
