Aerial Navigation

Aerial navigation research focuses on enabling autonomous drones to navigate complex environments, often using natural language instructions or visual cues. Current efforts concentrate on developing robust algorithms, such as graph-based path planning and transformer-based models, that efficiently handle real-time navigation in large-scale, unknown spaces, incorporating uncertainty quantification for improved safety and reliability. This field is crucial for advancing applications like search and rescue, delivery services, and environmental monitoring, driving innovation in both robotics and artificial intelligence.
