Diagnosing and Dynamically Filtering Occupancy World Models for Active Mapping

The paper investigates how inaccuracies in pretrained occupancy networks affect active mapping robots that select camera viewpoints to reconstruct unknown 3D scenes. By fixing the planner and varying the occupancy representation—ranging from no completion to ground‑truth occupancy—the authors find that correcting false positives or false negatives alone does not reliably improve coverage, highlighting a disconnect between occupancy accuracy and planning performance. They propose a dynamic filtering strategy that retains predictions in unexplored space while suppressing unsupported occupancy based on online observations, which preliminarily shows it can steer viewpoint selection toward reachable surfaces that would otherwise remain unseen.

AeroWeaver: An Embodied-Agent Harness for Weaving Aerial Skills into Distributed, Adaptive Swarm Execution

AeroWeaver is a new embodied‑agent harness that integrates large language model (LLM) decision making with the executable skills of individual UAVs, enabling distributed, adaptive swarm execution. It connects semantic mission decisions to governed skills, organizes role‑conditioned local agents for coordination, and refines skill selection online using role‑indexed state‑action‑reward experience. Experiments demonstrate that AeroWeaver maintains valid skill execution without a central joint‑action generator and supports reward‑guided, training‑free adaptive learning from accumulated execution experience.
