AerialDojo-200K is a large-scale benchmark suite for open-world aerial object-goal search, featuring 42 simulation scenes across four families and 21 types, including urban, natural, infrastructure, and disaster environments. The dataset contains 205,732 task instances—over 100K semantic-goal and over 100K image-goal tasks—each with a collision-free reference trajectory and multi-view video recordings. A unified evaluation framework splits scenes into 21 in-distribution and 21 out-of-distribution sets, and preliminary tests on multimodal large language models show significant room for improvement in general-purpose aerial agents.
