The paper introduces an integrated optimization framework that links automated warehouse operations with last‑mile multi‑modal transport for differentiated on‑demand delivery. It employs a deep reinforcement learning approach—MORM‑AGDQN for warehouse scheduling and MRMH‑HCVRP for external routing—to balance service level, cost, and demand. The results demonstrate significant performance gains, including a 100 % on‑time delivery rate, a 29.3 % reduction in average last‑mile delivery time, a 46.4 % cut in total transportation distance, and a high‑priority service rate exceeding 92 % while maintaining cost‑customer satisfaction balance.

The paper introduces a hierarchical hybrid architecture combining large language models (LLMs) and multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) to manage heterogeneous unmanned aerial systems in low‑altitude wireless networks (LAWNs). An outer LLM‑driven loop interprets service requirements and operator intent to reconfigure objectives and resource priorities, while an inner MARL loop executes decentralized policies under the updated game. A logistics‑monitoring case study demonstrates the framework’s ability to coordinate diverse services and adapt to changing conditions without retraining the MARL policies.
