Unmanned aerial vehicle vision-language navigation (UAV-VLN) requires agents to translate visual observations and language instructions into reliable flight actions in complex environments. Although recent end-to-end UAV vision-language-action (UAV-VLA) policies reduce reliance on separately designed perception, planning, and control modules, their behavior-cloning objectives provide limited corrective supervision for interactive closed-loop execution.

AERIS is an offline policy improvement framework for multi-UAV integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) that learns from fixed flight logs using centralized training and decentralized execution. It introduces STAR-CRDT, an offline multi-agent RL algorithm that rectifies local actions and distills trusted improvements into decentralized actors, providing an offline-support policy improvement guarantee. Experiments demonstrate that STAR-CRDT boosts the main ISAC objective return by 29.3% and improves communication sum rate, sensing pass rate, and sensing margin while reducing collision-risk events by 54.2%.

arXiv:2606. 06836v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Language-guided UAV agents must execute long-horizon semantic instructions while producing smooth, physically feasible continuous flight commands, yet existing Vision-Language Navigation (VLN) benchmarks typically use discrete or coarse actions and existing UAV Vision-Language-Action (VLA) tasks focus on short, atomic maneuvers.
