arXiv:2607. 10649v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Coverage path planning (CPP) is a fundamental problem in robot motion planning, whose aim is to produce robot trajectories that provide complete coverage of target workspaces while minimizing task-specific objectives such as path length, overlap, number of turns, and energy consumption.

The paper introduces WONDER, a radio world‑model‑based negotiation framework designed to optimize multi‑UAV coverage for rapid post‑disaster wireless restoration. WONDER employs a Joint‑Embedding Predictive Architecture to forecast the incremental radio impact of candidate UAV trajectories and uses multi‑round negotiation to sequentially commit trajectories while updating the context. Experiments in the RadioDynamics simulation environment demonstrate that WONDER outperforms six other methods, achieving a balanced score of 0.870 and a 0.162 coverage advantage over STACCA while preserving full UAV connectivity.

The paper proposes Neuro‑Symbolic Agentic AI (NSAAI) as a framework that blends neural grounding, symbolic reasoning, and closed‑loop interaction to enhance decision‑making for networked low‑altitude UAVs. It outlines NSAAI’s strengths in data efficiency, compositional generalization, continual learning, and zero‑shot transfer, and presents a reference architecture covering task management, planning, verification, skill execution, and network interaction. An urban fire‑inspection simulation demonstrates how a UAV can coordinate sensing, cloud access, and verified image‑delivery skills under intermittent connectivity, illustrating NSAAI’s potential for reusable skills, evidence‑grounded decisions, and adaptive mission execution.

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.
