description	Walks up TO an object, person, or piece of furniture and stops right next to it, by emitting a simple moveTo target — the engine paths there and halts adjacent (it won't walk into/through the object). Use for approach, walk up to, go over to, come closer to, stand next to, get near the table/couch/door.

approach-object

Go and stand NEXT TO a target (don't overlap it). The engine stops the body adjacent to the named place/furniture, so you only emit the destination.

Composes: walk (the moveTo translation; the engine handles the adjacent stop).

How

• Emit moveTo:{ "target": "<thing>" } using a name from state.locations (or the named furniture in state.seats/state.beds). The engine pathfinds around obstacles and stops a step away — you do NOT subtract an offset yourself.
• Don't add a pose that lunges forward; approaching is pure travel. Reach/grab is a SEPARATE follow-up Action (see reach-out, pick-something-up).
• durationMs ~ 1800–2800.

Worked Actions

• "walk up to the couch" → {"durationMs":2200,"moveTo":{"target":"couch"},"say":"Coming over."}
• "go stand next to the window" → {"durationMs":2400,"moveTo":{"target":"window"},"say":"Right here."}
• "come closer" (no named place; step toward current facing) → {"durationMs":1200,"moveTo":{"x":0,"z":1.2},"say":"Closer."}

Notes

If the thing isn't in state.locations, pick the closest listed target. To then interact, emit a follow-up Action; keep this one a clean approach.
