Blind-Wayfarer: A Minimalist, Probing-Driven Framework for Resilient Navigation in Perception-Degraded Environments

Navigating autonomous robots through dense forests and rugged terrains is especially daunting when exteroceptive sensors—such as cameras and LiDAR sensors— fail under occlusions, low-light conditions, or sensor noise. We present Blind-Wayfarer, a probing-driven navigation framework inspired by maze-
