   ```
   - "<grounding> What object do you see?"
   - "<grounding> Is there a [object_name]?"
   - "<grounding> Describe the [color] object."
   - "An image of"

## 🔬 Research Questions

### Primary Questions

1. **Does object recognition correlate with navigation success?**
   - H: Higher recognition → better task performance
   
2. **Can VLM-optimized objects enable instruction grounding?**
   - H: With good object recognition, frozen VLM can distinguish LEFT/RIGHT
   
3. **What is the recognition threshold for unified model?**
   - H: Need >70% recognition for single model to work

### Secondary Questions

1. Which object category performs best? (Food vs Container vs Beverage)
2. Does object size/distance affect VLM recognition?
3. Can we predict recognition from object properties?
