UAV Vision-Language Navigation (UAV-VLN) is typically formulated as a holistic search-and-reach problem, where long-range target discovery and final target approach are optimized and evaluated jointly. This formulation makes it difficult to assess a critical capability of aerial embodied agents, namely whether a UAV can accurately ground a visible target and translate vision-language evidence into precise 3D motion once the target enters its field of view.

The paper investigates UAV‑mounted reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) assisted device‑to‑device (D2D) communication with stochastic link activation. It models UAV motion, attitude, time‑varying Rician angles, and angle‑dependent RIS reflection, and formulates a joint optimization of UAV trajectory, attitude, and RIS phases to maximize average sum rate under mobility, energy, and hardware constraints. The authors employ deep reinforcement learning and a Decision Transformer trained on expert trajectories from multiple scenarios, showing that zero‑shot transfer outperforms direct DRL transfer and that online fine‑tuning achieves competitive performance with fewer interactions.
