Coverage Path Planning: Classical Foundations, Recent Advances, and Future Directions

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.

WONDER: A Radio World Model-based Negotiation Framework for Multi-Agent UAV Coverage Optimization

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.
