Aerial manipulation systems have long suffered from representation coupling in end-to-end control, as platform-level Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) movement and end-effector-level arm manipulation differ substantially in action scale, dynamics, and control objectives. In this paper, we propose AIR-VL...

Generalization of World Models under Environmental Variability for Vision-based Quadrotor Navigation

Luca Zanatta, Grzegorz Malczyk, Kostas Alexis · arXiv preprint · Jun 2026

World models, learned generative models that predict how an environment evolves, have become a promising tool for sample-efficient robot learning. Yet how robust they are to environmental variability remains poorly understood. To address this, we conduct a systematic study using vision-based quadrot...

Humanoid robots have achieved strong locomotion capabilities, but reliable navigation on versatile terrains remains challenging because obstacle avoidance must be coordinated with dynamically feasible motion. In this work, we present GuideWalk, a unified end-to-end framework that integrates traversa...
