Autonomous surface vehicles vary widely in hydrodynamic and actuation characteristics, yet most controllers are designed for single-platform deployment. We present an adaptive reinforcement learning approach for trajectory tracking that enables zero-shot cross-platform deployment using a single policy.

Safe quadrotor navigation in cluttered and dynamic environments depends not only on instantaneous geometric perception, but more critically on anticipating collision risks induced by relative motion. Conventional modular pipelines frequently suffer from perception latency, while end-to-end learning methods relying on implicit scalar rewards often struggle to extract reliable spatio-temporal features without physics-grounded supervision.
