Technical Field

[0002] In the fields of robotics and intelligent navigation, multi-view fusion and heterogeneous agent collaboration have become important directions for improving environmental perception capabilities and task execution efficiency. With the increasing demands of complex scenarios such as disaster relief and autonomous driving, single-agent or single-modal perception technologies are no longer sufficient to meet task requirements. The industry is gradually moving towards multi-agent collaboration and multimodal data fusion. Currently, multi-agent systems are beginning to combine large language models and large visual models to achieve unified encoding and feature alignment of cross-view information, aiming to build a more comprehensive environmental cognition model to support autonomous navigation and task execution in complex scenarios.

[0003] However, existing technologies still have many unresolved issues:

[0004] Multi-agent collaboration often faces the problem of "air-ground information asymmetry". Due to differences in the acquisition scale and coordinate system, it is difficult to achieve accurate matching of data from the global perspective in the air and the local perspective on the ground, resulting in incomplete environmental cognition. Furthermore, communication between agents is easily affected by complex environments, resulting in data transmission delays or interruptions, which affect collaboration efficiency.

[0005] Path planning and deviation control lack dynamic adaptability and cannot adjust monitoring parameters according to scene characteristics, making it difficult to balance accuracy and efficiency in both open and narrow scenes.

[0006] The mapping between large model inference and actual physical space is insufficient, the abstract strategies output by the model are difficult to accurately translate into the actual actions of the agent, and there is a lack of effective use of historical data, making it difficult to continuously optimize task execution performance.

[0007] In addition, the existing system has shortcomings in application verification and engineering implementation in complex scenarios. The experimental process and operation specifications are not perfect, and the visualization interaction and manual intervention mechanisms need to be optimized, which affects the practicality and promotion of the system.

[0077] It should be noted that this system has clear and feasible application scenarios in the fields of complex environment navigation and unmanned autonomous driving. The specific application methods and experimental verification process are as follows:

[0078] In complex disaster environments such as forest fires and floods, this system can support cross-view air-ground embodied intelligent navigation tasks. After a disaster occurs, UAVs can quickly take off to acquire global overhead view data of the disaster area, while ground robots can penetrate deep into the core disaster area to collect detailed local environmental information. Through multimodal data fusion and cross-view collaboration, the two can achieve disaster area topographic mapping, location of trapped personnel, and rescue route planning, providing accurate environmental perception and mission execution support for disaster relief.

[0079] In the field of autonomous driving, this system conducts special application verification for urban road navigation scenarios. The experiment uses the DAIR-V2X dataset produced by the Institute for Intelligent Industry of Tsinghua University (AIR). This dataset is a large-scale multimodal and multi-view dataset in the field of vehicle-road cooperative autonomous driving research. It contains synchronously labeled data of vehicle view and vehicle-mounted drone aerial photography view, totaling 72,890 frames of images, which can comprehensively simulate complex traffic scenarios in urban roads.

[0080] The experimental procedure strictly followed a standardized process: First, the input images were preprocessed, and the LANCZOS interpolation algorithm was used to uniformly scale the longest side of all images to a preset maximum size, reducing GPU memory usage while preserving image details to the maximum extent. Then, the results were filtered. First, confidence filtering was performed, and then non-maximum suppression was performed after classification. The preliminary detection results were grouped by category, and the NMS algorithm was applied to the overlapping masks in each group to retain only the mask with the highest score in that category, thus avoiding the multiple recognition of a single object.

[0081] The system ultimately generates two standardized outputs: a detailed score report that records the category, confidence score, bounding box coordinates, and similarity score list of all candidate text descriptions for each identified landmark; and a visualized labeled image that displays the outline of landmark objects in semi-transparent color highlighting and labels the category name and confidence score, providing a clear basis for the system's performance evaluation in unmanned autonomous driving scenarios.

[0082] The algorithm engineering implementation of this system follows a clear process logic, covering data collection, processing and computation, task planning, collaborative execution, and post-operative optimization. The specific steps are as follows:

[0083] Multimodal data collection: After the task starts, each intelligent agent simultaneously activates its corresponding sensor module to collect environmental data. The UAV activates its high-resolution camera, infrared imaging equipment, lidar, and weather sensor; the ground robot activates its lidar, camera, and force sensor; and the unmanned vehicle activates its camera, radar, and inertial measurement unit. Each device collects data at a preset frequency to ensure the timeliness and completeness of the data.

[0084] Task data processing and cross-perspective computing: Each agent transmits the collected raw data to the central control system and distributed edge robot nodes through communication links, realizing distributed storage and computing of data; the Visual Language Model (VLM) is used to fuse multimodal data, including converting rescue task information in text form into structured task descriptions (language description generation), and identifying landmarks, dynamic obstacles and task targets in the scene (visual information extraction); the fused multimodal information is parsed based on the Large Language Model (LLM) to generate preliminary task-related instruction text, unify the information expression format between agents and the API interface call specifications for robot capabilities, and ensure the consistency of information transmission;

[0085] Task planning comprises two parts: path planning and task allocation. In the path planning stage, based on a pre-established topology map and node information within a known scenario, the optimal task path is generated using a visual navigation model (VNM). This considers environmental dynamics (such as temporarily appearing obstacles) and collaborative requirements (such as path coordination between drones and ground robots), and the path is corrected in real-time based on dynamically updated landmark information. In the task allocation stage, the real-time status of each agent is dynamically analyzed (such as remaining battery power, current load, task execution progress, and device health status). The optimal allocation of subtasks is calculated using LLM to ensure efficient resource utilization and task execution.

[0086] Collaborative Execution: Each agent executes specific sub-tasks according to the task allocation results. UAVs conduct wide-area reconnaissance (such as global mapping of disaster areas), real-time data transmission (synchronizing global environmental information to the ground control terminal and other agents), and environmental monitoring (such as monitoring the spread of fire). Ground robots complete ground navigation (moving according to planned paths), material transportation (such as delivering rescue supplies to trapped personnel), and precision operations in complex terrain (such as searching for trapped personnel in rubble). Unmanned vehicles perform long-distance transportation (such as transferring rescue equipment) or patrol (such as safety monitoring on urban roads). Close collaboration is formed among agents. UAVs provide global environmental maps for ground agents (ground robots and unmanned vehicles) to assist in optimizing ground navigation paths. Ground robots provide local terrain data (such as road damage) to unmanned vehicles to optimize their path decisions. During task execution, each agent transmits the task completion status back to the rescue center or control terminal in real time, allowing human operators to monitor the task progress.

[0087] Post-operative optimization: After the task is completed, all agents will upload the execution log (including task execution steps, parameter adjustment records, and fault occurrences), environmental data (collected multimodal raw data and fusion processing results), and optimization suggestions (such as improvement directions for path planning and suggestions for adjusting sensor parameters) to cloud storage. Based on the uploaded historical data, the LLM model will be optimized, and the model parameters will be updated through incremental training to improve the model's planning ability and intelligence level for similar tasks, laying the foundation for improving the efficiency and accuracy of subsequent task execution.

[0088] This system features comprehensive visualization and human-computer interaction capabilities. It presents the system's operational status through an intuitive interface and supports convenient command input and result viewing. Specific details are as follows:

[0089] Visualizations and Explanations: The system operation process includes visualizations of multiple key states, as shown in the following figures and explanations:

[0090] Ground robot readiness status diagram: Displays the robot's real-time status parameters (such as front_range, soc, x, y, etc. mentioned above) in JSON data format, clearly showing whether the robot has the conditions to perform the task.

[0091] Aerial UAV Takeoff and Flight Route Setting Map: Displays the UAV's takeoff position, preset waypoints, and flight route (such as latitude and longitude coordinates based on the WGS84 coordinate system) in a map interface, while also displaying flight altitude (such as ASL: 201.5m, HAE: 163.5m), execution time, and other information to facilitate operator monitoring of the UAV's flight trajectory;

[0092] Robot dog starts moving log information diagram: The robot dog's motion control commands and status feedback are recorded in the form of text log (such as "[INFO][1732003918.391152279][sport_control_client]:---0---"), reflecting the robot dog's motion control process;

[0093] Landmark recognition results: The results show the landmark recognition from the perspective of an aerial drone and the ground perspective of a robot dog, respectively. The recognized landmark categories (such as "car", "road", "TreeLine", "sky") and corresponding confidence scores (such as 0.24, 0.25, 0.27) are labeled, intuitively presenting the landmark positioning effect.

[0094] ScaleToRealCLIP alignment effect diagram: Show the cross-view correlation and localization results of landmark descriptions (such as "dummy", "swimming ring", "medical kit" and "roadblock") in natural language task instructions in the drone top view and robot dog first view image. The top view presents the overall distribution and relative position of landmarks, and the ground plan view refines the accuracy of bounding boxes and the target localization of occluded areas.

[0095] The image shows the return of the intelligent agent to the starting point after the task is completed: This indicates that the drone and robot dog have returned to their initial positions according to the planned path after completing the task, marking the end of the task execution cycle.

[0096] Human-computer interaction: Operators interact with the system via tablet devices, inputting natural language commands on the tablet interface (such as "Search along the main road, find the red fire extinguisher and return to the supply vehicle," or "Start from the starting point, move forward until you see the black chair, pass the flower pots until you see the fire point"). The commands are directly transmitted to the system's text encoding unit for processing. During task execution, the system saves real-time generated visual annotation images (such as drawing bounding boxes around landmark objects, labeling category names and confidence scores) to a designated path. Operators can view the annotation images and detailed score reports on the tablet interface to monitor task progress and results. In case of emergencies (such as agent failure or change of task objectives), operators can input intervention commands on the tablet to adjust the system's task planning and ensure safe and effective task execution.

[0097] The ScaleToRealClip model and LLM real device planning process in this system have refined execution logic. The specific steps and examples are as follows:

[0098] ScaleToRealClip model execution steps:

[0099] Step 1: Image loading. Read image files in PIL or OpenCV format. If loading fails, return directly to ensure the validity of the data source for subsequent processing.

[0100] Step 2: Candidate region generation. Create a SelectiveSearch instance, input the OpenCV image into the instance and configure the generation mode (fast mode or high quality mode). Obtain the initial rectangular region from the instance, and then obtain the candidate bounding box and candidate cropped image according to the filtering conditions such as area ratio and aspect ratio. If the candidate cropped image is empty, save the original image and return.

[0101] Step 3: Feature Extraction and Similarity Scoring (Improved CLIP Method). The landmark text list and general negative prompts are encoded as text input. The improved CLIP model is used to encode the text input, obtaining normalized text features. Candidate cropped images are batch-processed, pre-processed, and stacked as image input batches. Normalized image features are obtained by encoding using the CLIP model. The dot product of the normalized image features and normalized text features is calculated to obtain the cosine similarity. For each image in the batch, the corresponding target landmark score and general negative score are extracted. If the target landmark score exceeds the initial confidence threshold and the difference between the target landmark score and the general negative score exceeds the general negative score difference threshold, then (boundary box, score, landmark name) is added to the list of all potential detection results. If the list is empty, the original image is saved and returned.

[0102] Step 4: Non-maximum suppression (NMS) Group all potential detection results by landmark name. For each landmark category, extract the candidate box list and score list. Call the non_max_suppression function (based on IoU threshold) to calculate the retention index. Add the detection result with the highest score in the retention index to the detection result list after NMS. If the list is empty, save the original image and return.

[0103] Step 5: Specific Landmark Re-verification (Optional). If this function is enabled, initialize the final drawing detection result list. For each detection result in the NMS detection results, crop the corresponding region from the PIL image to obtain a cropped image, construct specific negative prompt text for the landmark, calculate the CLIP similarity between the cropped image and the specific negative prompt text, and if the detection result score exceeds (specific negative score + specific re-verification score difference threshold), add the detection result to the final drawing detection result list.

[0104] Step 6: Coordinate Alignment and Result Saving. Align the coordinate system with the real space according to the pixel scaling rule, draw the bounding box, name and score of the final detection result on the OpenCV image, and save the labeled image to the specified output path.

[0105] Example of LLM device planning steps:

[0106] Step 1: Command Input and Parsing. The operator inputs natural language commands (e.g., "The robot team moves forward, sees a roadblock, moves forward; sees a gray stone, moves right; sees a tree, turns left until it sees the fire, observes if there is a fire extinguisher, and calls for manual rescue"). The LLM first performs word segmentation and semantic parsing on the commands and extracts a list of landmarks (e.g., ['roadblock', 'gray stone', 'fire', 'fire extinguisher']).

[0107] Step 2: Waypoint generation. Based on the extracted list of landmarks and environmental topology information, waypoints are generated (e.g., the number of waypoints is 5), and the path navigation process is started.

[0108] Step 3: Action Command Output. Based on the real-time acquired agent state and environmental perception data, LLM outputs action commands step by step, as shown in the following example: "Benben Dog Action: moveforward" (controls the robot dog to move forward). When the robot dog "observes: roadblock", it outputs "Benben Dog Action: right" (controls the robot dog to turn right); when it "observes: gray stone", it outputs "Benben Dog Action: left" (controls the robot dog to turn left); when it "observes: fire point", it outputs "Benben Dog Action: moveforward" (controls the robot dog to continue forward); when it "observes: fire extinguisher", it outputs "Benben Dog Action: moveforward (reaches the final destination)", finally completing the "task completed" status feedback, realizing the complete process from command parsing to action execution.

[0109] Working principle or structural principle: The working process of this multimodal cross-view air-ground collaborative embodied large model system relies on the coordinated linkage of various modules to form a closed-loop process of "data acquisition - processing and fusion - reasoning and decision-making - execution feedback". First, the UAV, ground robot and unmanned vehicle in the heterogeneous intelligent agent module simultaneously start their respective configured sensors to collect images, 3D point clouds, infrared heat sources, meteorological data and motion status data from the global top view and local ground view, respectively, and transmit the multi-type raw data to the multimodal data processing module;

[0110] After receiving the data, the multimodal data processing module segments and encodes the natural language commands, converting them into computer-processable text feature vectors. Simultaneously, it encodes aerial and ground image sequences acquired at different times, extracting visual features from the images. Subsequently, the cross-view fusion module uses text features as the query basis and fuses text features with multi-view image features through a cross-attention mechanism to generate fused features containing global and local correlation information. Then, using the ScaleToRealClip model, the fused features are mapped to real physical coordinates, providing accurate spatial references for subsequent path planning.

[0111] The large language model inference module generates a structured task sequence and action strategy containing parameters such as planned position and heading angle based on the fused coordinate information and natural language instructions. The action decision module translates the strategy into control instructions for each agent, driving the agents to execute tasks. At the same time, the state monitoring unit collects the real-time position and heading angle of the agents in real time, and determines whether the agents have deviated from the planned path by calculating path deviation. If the deviation exceeds the threshold, the large language model inference module is triggered to replan the strategy and send a correction command.

[0112] The communication and coordination module maintains data synchronization among agents throughout the process, ensuring efficient transmission of planning parameters and real-time status information. Even in areas with weak signals, it can compensate for deviations by caching historical data to avoid monitoring interruptions. During task execution, the cross-view fusion module will also dynamically update the planning coordinates according to environmental changes to help agents avoid temporary obstacles. After the task is completed, the feedback learning unit optimizes the model parameters based on the execution data to improve performance for subsequent tasks.
