3D Underwater Path Planning via Generative Flow Field Surrogates

arXiv:2606. 06077v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) launch and recovery (LAR) into the hull of an advancing host platform requires traversal of a complex, three-dimensional propeller wake whose hydrodynamic structure cannot be characterised by a uniform current model.

Pretrained Video Models as Differentiable Physics Simulators for Urban Wind Flows

arXiv:2603. 21210v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Designing urban spaces that provide pedestrian wind comfort and safety requires time-resolved Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations, but their current computational cost makes extensive design exploration impractical.

DiffWAM: A Fast and Efficient Navigation World Action Model

DiffWAM is a geometry‑conditioned navigation world‑action model that transforms predictive features from a frozen video foundation model into continuous camera trajectories, eliminating the need for future‑video synthesis and multi‑frame reconstruction during deployment. Its Grid‑Motion module preserves spatial‑temporal motion associations, while Latent2Pose grounds them with first‑frame geometry to recover metrically meaningful 3D motion. The system, complemented by FastDreamer for asynchronous trajectory handoff, achieves a trajectory RMSE of 0.3492 m and a 74.40 % endpoint success rate on the DiffWAM‑1000 benchmark, with real‑world tests showing complex UAV behaviors and an onboard implementation reaching 1.08 s latency on NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor.
