Amir Habel, Ivan Snegirev, Elizaveta Semenyakina +6
This paper presents Glove2UAV, a wearable IMU-glove interface for intuitive UAV control through hand and finger gestures, augmented with vibrotactile warnings for exceeding predefi…
HoverAI: An Embodied Aerial Agent for Natural Human-Drone Interaction
Yuhua Jin, Nikita Kuzmin, Georgii Demianchuk +6
Drones operating in human-occupied spaces suffer from insufficient communication mechanisms that create uncertainty about their intentions. We present HoverAI, an embodied aerial a…
UAV-CodeAgents: Scalable UAV Mission Planning via Multi-Agent ReAct and Vision-Language Reasoning
Oleg Sautenkov, Yasheerah Yaqoot, Muhammad Ahsan Mustafa +5
We present UAV-CodeAgents, a scalable multi-agent framework for autonomous UAV mission generation, built on large language and vision-language models (LLMs/VLMs). The system levera…
NMPC-Lander: Nonlinear MPC with Barrier Function for UAV Landing on a Mobile Platform
Amber Batool, Faryal Batool, Roohan Ahmed Khan +3
Quadcopters are versatile aerial robots gaining popularity in numerous critical applications. However, their operational effectiveness is constrained by limited battery life and re…
UAV-VLRR: Vision-Language Informed NMPC for Rapid Response in UAV Search and Rescue
Yasheerah Yaqoot, Muhammad Ahsan Mustafa, Oleg Sautenkov +3
Emergency search and rescue (SAR) operations often require rapid and precise target identification in complex environments where traditional manual drone control is inefficient. In…
