Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of large model technology, and in particular to a multi-level embodied cognition system based on large models. Background Technology

[0002] Existing embodied question answering systems are mainly built on visual language models (VLMs), which learn the correspondence between vision and language by pre-training on large-scale image-text pair data.

[0003] Representative works include OpenAI's CLIP, which achieves cross-modal matching of images and text through contrastive learning; BLIP, which improves visual-language pre-training through a bootstrapping mechanism; and LLaVA, which combines large language models with visual encoders to achieve more complex visual understanding and reasoning capabilities. Existing embodied intelligent robot systems mainly adopt a modular architecture, including perception, planning, and execution modules, each operating relatively independently. Decision-making systems often use predefined rules and state machines to handle environmental interactions, such as the behavior tree framework in ROS, or reinforcement learning methods to train robot policies, such as Google's RT-1 and RT-2 systems. Existing neurosymbolic systems typically combine the learning capabilities of neural networks with the reasoning capabilities of symbolic systems. For example, NS-VQA parses the scene into symbolic representations and then uses a program execution engine to answer questions; DeepProbLog and NeurosymbolicAI combine neural networks with logical reasoning systems; and the CLEVR-Hans system improves the interpretability and robustness of the model by combining neural networks and symbolic reasoning.

[0004] Existing embodied systems suffer from a perception-cognition separation problem, treating visual processing and language understanding as independent modules, leading to the loss of semantic information during information flow. Visual features lack semantic understanding, making it difficult for language models to directly process raw visual information. The system cannot understand implicit relationships and contextual information within visual scenes, resulting in limited cross-modal reasoning capabilities. Another key issue is insufficient reasoning depth; existing systems perform poorly when handling complex problems requiring multi-step reasoning, causal analysis, and counterfactual thinking. End-to-end trained models tend to learn simple statistical associations rather than deep causal relationships, lacking explicit decomposition of reasoning steps and intermediate result verification mechanisms. This makes them ill-suited for scenarios requiring an understanding of physical laws and unable to effectively explain issues involving causality. Furthermore, existing systems have limitations in environmental representation, typically presenting static and fragmented representations that lack the ability to model dynamic environmental changes. Most visual-language models are trained on static images, lacking temporal understanding and explicit structure, making it difficult to predict environmental changes, effectively track changes in object states within a scene, and build long-term memory models of the environment. At the same time, it lacks self-correction ability, effective error detection and self-correction mechanisms, and the ability to monitor and evaluate its own cognitive processes. The reasoning process is usually unidirectional, the uncertainty quantification method is imperfect, it is difficult to identify potential errors, and it is unable to effectively resolve conflicts when faced with contradictory information.

[0005] The multi-level embodied cognition system based on a large model proposed in this invention effectively solves the above-mentioned problems and difficulties by deeply integrating perception and cognition, realizing multi-level reasoning, introducing an active exploration mechanism, enhancing self-correction capabilities, and improving knowledge transfer efficiency, thus providing an innovative technical path for the field of embodied artificial intelligence.

The verification process employs a formal method, representing constraints as logical predicates to verify whether the execution plan satisfies all constraints; for the parts that do not satisfy the constraints, the system automatically adjusts the parameters or replans. Adaptively adjust design feedback checkpoints to monitor execution progress.

[0022] Appendix Figure 1 This invention provides a block diagram of a multi-level embodied cognition system based on a large model, which shows the connection relationship between the multimodal perception module and the hierarchical decision planning system module, and marks the main functional interaction flow of each module.

[0023] In this embodiment, it includes: The implementation was based on the following hardware and software environment: the computing platform was a high-performance workstation equipped with an NVIDIA RTX 4090 GPU (24GB VRAM), an Intel Core i9-13900K processor, and 32GB DDR5 memory; the development framework included Python 3.10, PyTorch 2.1.0, and AirSim 1.8.1; the large language model used was Qwen 2.5-14B-Instruct; the simulation environment was the AirSim Neighborhood environment, which included buildings, roads, vehicles, and pedestrians.

[0024] The AirSim environment provides multimodal sensing data via API, including RGB images (1920×1080 resolution), depth maps (640×480 resolution), LiDAR point clouds (32 lines, 10Hz frequency), and IMU data (100Hz frequency). Communication between the system and AirSim uses a standardized interface, with data transmission latency controlled within 10ms. The communication protocol is based on TCP / IP, ensuring reliable data transmission.

[0025] The multimodal perception module is configured to process multi-source data from UAV sensors in the AirSim environment and output unified multimodal features containing visual, spatial, and temporal information. Specifically, it includes: The visual encoding submodule, based on the CLIPViT-L / 14 architecture, processes RGB image data. Images are first preprocessed, including resizing to 224×224 pixels, normalization, and data augmentation (random cropping, horizontal flipping, and color dithering). The preprocessed image is segmented into 16×16 pixel patches, each mapped to a 768-dimensional embedding space via a linear projection layer. The system adds learnable positional encodings to preserve spatial information, and then processes the data through a Transformer encoder, with each layer containing a 12-head self-attention mechanism and a feedforward neural network.

[0026] The formula for calculating self-attention is: ; in, These represent the query, key, and value matrices, respectively. The feature dimension is set to 64. The output features are semantically enhanced by an Adaptive Feature Enhancement Network (AFE), which includes convolutional layers with residual connections and channel attention mechanisms, ultimately generating a 1024-dimensional visual feature vector.

[0027] The spatial coding submodule constructs a scene graph representation using depth maps and LiDAR data. First, a pre-trained YOLOv8 model is used to identify objects in the scene, with a detection threshold set to 0.65, supporting 80 common object categories.

[0028] Spatial relationships are calculated as follows: ; in, , Represents the 3D position of an object. Indicates the type of object. Function It achieves the recognition of 15 basic spatial relationships, including above, below, left, right, inside, containment, and contact. The scene graph is processed by a graph convolutional network (GCN), with each GCN layer having a hidden dimension of 256 and the activation function being ReLU, ultimately generating a structured scene representation.

[0029] The temporal coding submodule maintains the visual feature sequence of the most recent 10 frames at a frame rate of 10fps, forming a 1-second temporal window; each frame's features are marked with different time steps using temporal position coding, employing sinusoidal position coding. ; ; in, Indicates time and location. Indicates a dimension index. The model dimension is set to 512. The encoded temporal features are processed through a 4-layer bidirectional LSTM network with a hidden state dimension of 512 and a dropout rate of 0.1 to capture temporal dependencies. ; in, Indicates the features of the current frame. This indicates the hidden state at the previous moment. The system outputs the current state representation and state change prediction, supporting dynamic object trajectory prediction and event detection.

[0030] By fusing three features through a cross-modal attention mechanism, visual, spatial, and temporal features are first mapped to a common representation space (1024 dimensions) through a linear projection layer; then, a gated cross-attention mechanism is applied to calculate the attention weights between features of different modalities. ; in, The attention weights for each modality are represented and normalized using the softmax function: ; Weight vector Learned through end-to-end training; The fused features are further integrated through residual connections and layer normalization, ultimately outputting a unified multimodal representation vector with a dimension of 1024.

[0031] The Neural Symbolic World Model module is configured to overcome the limitations of pure neural network physical modeling, enabling dynamic tracking of environmental states, prediction of object interactions, and causal relationship analysis, providing structured environmental information for cognition and decision-making. Specifically, it includes: In the AirSim environment, the neural symbolic world model maintains a structured representation of the urban environment; Scene Graph Builder: Constructs scene graphs based on the output of a multimodal perceptual encoder. ; Node set Represents objects in the scene, with each node containing the following attributes: unique identifier ID, category. (Select from 30 predefined categories), 3D location 3D size ,speed acceleration ,direction and state (e.g., stationary, moving, or interactive); Edge set Represents the relationship between objects. Each edge contains the following attributes: source node ID, target node ID, relationship type Relation (selected from 15 predefined spatial relationships and 10 functional relationships), and relationship strength (a real number between 0 and 1). The scene graph construction process includes four steps: object detection and localization, relation reasoning, graph structure optimization, and temporal consistency maintenance. Relational reasoning employs a message-passing neural network, performing three rounds of message-passing updates: ; ; ; in Representing node characteristics, Indicates the node position. For edge feature extraction function, Let i represent the set of neighbors of node i; Add physical properties to each node in the scene graph, including mass (kilograms), friction coefficient (a real number between 0 and 1), elasticity coefficient (a real number between 0 and 1), and material type (choose from 8 predefined materials). The physics simulation employs a hybrid approach, combining analytical physics models with learned predictors; The analytical physics model is based on Newtonian mechanics and enables rigid body dynamics, collision detection, and contact force calculation. ; ; in , , These represent position, velocity, and acceleration, respectively. Indicates the time step (set to 0.033 seconds, corresponding to an update frequency of 30Hz); The collision detection method combines hierarchical bounding box (AABB) and precise collision detection, supporting collision calculation for complex shapes; Learning-based predictors employ graph neural network structures to learn physical laws by observing historical data. ; in, This represents the current scene graph. Indicates the current action. The graph neural network is implemented as a 5-layer GraphSAGE with hidden layer dimensions of [256, 256, 128, 128, 64]; The final state prediction is achieved by adaptively weighting and fusing the two prediction results: ; Where α is the adaptive weight, with an initial value of 0.7, which is dynamically adjusted based on historical prediction accuracy, with an adjustment step size of 0.05; Causal reasoning engine: Constructs structural causal models (SCM) and supports three levels of causal reasoning; The system maintains a cause-effect graph. ,node Representing variables (such as object state, environmental conditions, actions, etc.), edges To represent a causal relationship, each edge contains a weight representing the strength of the causal relationship; Level 3 causal reasoning: calculating conditional probability through associative reasoning. Given the current traffic conditions, will pedestrians cross the road? Intervention reasoning assessment of intervention effectiveness How would pedestrians react if the drone lowered its altitude to 5 meters? Counterfactual reasoning evaluates hypothetical scenarios If the northbound route had been chosen instead of the eastbound route, would the destination have been reached faster? The causal reasoning process employs a neurosymbolic approach, combining neural network prediction with symbolic reasoning: ; ; in This represents an intermediate variable. The system uses Monte Carlo sampling to perform integral calculations, with 1000 samples taken to ensure the stability of the inference results.

[0032] The system maintains the environmental state through a hierarchical memory system. The system implements a three-level memory architecture: working memory stores the current scene state and short-term history; contextual memory stores the medium-term event sequence and causal relationships; and semantic memory stores long-term patterns and physical knowledge (persistent storage, including pre-trained physical models and navigation rules).

[0033] The core cognitive module of the large language model is configured to bridge the knowledge gap between the language space and the physical world, enabling flexible reasoning from rapid intuition to in-depth analysis, and outputting structured cognitive results with confidence. Specifically, it includes: Based on the Qwen2.5-14B-Instruct model, the model service API is integrated with the system via local vLLM mounting: Convert input information from different sources into a format that the language model can process; The visual-language interaction layer receives the scene graph representation and converts the graph structure into a structured text description. The conversion process includes three steps: node description generation, relationship description generation, and overall scene summarization. The node description uses the template: "[Category] is located at ([x],[y],[z]), State: [State]"; the relationship description uses the template: "[Source Object][Relationship][Target Object]"; the scene summary generates a high-level description by extracting key information.

[0034] By analyzing user questions using engineering techniques, the system identifies question types (categorized into four types: fact queries, reasoning questions, planning requests, and counterfactual analysis) and extracts key entities and relationships. The question analysis employs a hybrid approach combining rule-based and learning methods, achieving an accuracy rate exceeding 85%. A memory compression algorithm is applied to compress long-term interaction history into a summary representation. The compression algorithm is based on importance sampling and hierarchical clustering, with a compression ratio of 10:1, while retaining key decision points and erroneous experiences. Integrate multi-source inputs into a structured contextual representation; The system constructs a three-layer context structure: the core layer contains the current problem and directly related scenario information; the support layer contains relevant background knowledge and historical information; and the meta-information layer contains task objectives and reasoning strategies. The context optimization algorithm optimizes the context content through three steps: relevance scoring, information compression, and structural reconstruction. The relevance scoring uses cosine similarity calculation. ;in, Represents an information vector. Represents the query vector; The final generated structured hints consist of four parts: scene description (30% of the total length), task description (20%), inference guidance (20%), and output format specification (30%). The total length of the hints is controlled within 8,000 tags to ensure that it does not exceed the model context window limit. Core language model: Based on the Qwen2.5-14B-Instruct model (14B parameters), the model service API is mounted via a local vLLM; the system implements an embodied knowledge base retrieval mechanism (RAG technology), constructing three types of knowledge bases: a physical knowledge base (containing physical laws, material properties, and dynamic models), a common sense reasoning base (containing the functions of everyday objects, typical scene behaviors, and safety rules), and a task-related knowledge base (containing navigation strategies, target recognition methods, and interaction protocols).

[0035] Knowledge retrieval employs a hybrid retrieval strategy, combining sparse retrieval (based on the BM25 algorithm) and dense retrieval (based on vector similarity): ;in, Indicates a query. Represents a document. and These represent the embedding vectors of the query and the document, respectively. This is the weighting coefficient (set to 0.3); The search results are optimized through relevance ranking and deduplication algorithms, and the top K results are finally selected (the value of K is dynamically adjusted according to the query complexity, ranging from 3 to 10). Knowledge injection employs three strategies: immediate injection, which dynamically retrieves relevant knowledge during the reasoning process; pre-injection, which injects key knowledge in advance during the context building stage; and adaptive injection, which dynamically adjusts the injection strategy based on the difficulty of reasoning, with difficulty assessment based on problem type, number of entities, and relational complexity. The multi-path reasoning module implements three reasoning strategies: fast intuitive reasoning directly generates the answer, suitable for simple problems, taking <0.5s; standard analytical reasoning generates the answer through a 5-step reasoning process, suitable for medium-complexity problems, taking <3s; and deep exploration reasoning generates the answer through a 10+ step detailed reasoning process, suitable for high-complexity problems, taking <5s. The module automatically selects the appropriate reasoning strategy based on the complexity of the problem, with complexity assessment based on the number of entities, the number of relationships, and the depth of reasoning. The self-verification mechanism implements three verification methods: consistency check verifies the logical consistency of the reasoning process and detects contradictions and circular arguments; fact verification verifies whether the facts used in the reasoning are accurate by querying the knowledge base and comparing the environmental state; and counterexample generation attempts to build counterexamples to test the robustness of the conclusion by changing the conditions and testing the applicability of the conclusion under different circumstances. The results from the three processing paths are combined to generate the final cognitive reasoning result; a weighted voting mechanism allocates weights based on the confidence level of each reasoning path. ;in, Indicates the first The confidence level of each path is determined by both internal model evaluation and external validation.

[0036] The result synthesis algorithm integrates the advantages of multi-path reasoning, employing paragraph-level selection and merging. The output is formatted to generate structured cognitive reasoning results, including a core conclusion (a concise answer), a summary of the reasoning process (key reasoning steps), a confidence assessment (numerical and qualitative descriptions between 0 and 1), and potential alternative explanations (provided when the confidence level is below 0.8).

[0037] The hierarchical decision planning system module is configured to solve the problems of consistency and adaptability in decision-making under complex environments. Through goal decomposition, plan generation, and execution optimization, it realizes the implementation from abstract goals to concrete actions. Specifically, it includes: Transforming cognitive reasoning results into concrete implementation plans: Receive and integrate three inputs to generate a high-level program; Receive the results of cognitive reasoning, extract the core objectives and constraints, and apply an objective decomposition algorithm to decompose the complex objective into a sub-objective network; The goal decomposition employs a hierarchical task network (HTN) method, recursively decomposing the top-level goal into sub-goals until a directly executable atomic goal is reached; the dependencies between sub-goals are represented by a directed acyclic graph (DAG): ;in, Represents a set of sub-targets.

Action sequence generation employs the Model Predictive Control (MPC) method: ;in, Indicates the predicted state. Indicates the reference trajectory. Indicates control input, and For the weight matrix ( Set the diagonal elements to [1.0, 1.0, 2.0]. The diagonal elements are set to [0.1, 0.1, 0.2]. The prediction time domain N is set to 20, corresponding to a prediction window of 0.66 seconds. The Monte Carlo simulation generates 100 possible scene variations and identifies high-risk events such as the sudden appearance of obstacles, sensor malfunctions, and communication interruptions. For each abnormal situation, the system is designed with a three-level response strategy: primary strategy (executed under normal circumstances), backup strategy (executed when the primary strategy fails), and emergency strategy (executed under high-risk circumstances). The response strategy is organized into a decision tree structure, where nodes represent states, edges represent triggering conditions, and leaf nodes represent specific actions. The execution plan is fine-tuned to output the final execution action; the execution efficiency optimization analysis of the action sequence identifies optimization opportunities, including action merging (combining consecutive small actions into a single action), parallel execution (executing actions that do not interfere with each other simultaneously), and preloading (preparing resources needed for the next step in advance). The optimization algorithm adopts a greedy strategy, selecting the optimization operation with the greatest efficiency improvement each time, until no further optimization is possible; Safety verification checks whether the execution plan complies with safety constraints, including physical constraints (such as maximum speed and acceleration limits), environmental constraints (such as no-fly zones and minimum obstacle distances), and mission constraints (such as maximum mission time and energy limits). The verification process employs a formal method, representing constraints as logical predicates to verify whether the execution plan satisfies all constraints; for the parts that do not satisfy the constraints, the system automatically adjusts the parameters or replans. Adaptive adjustments are made to design feedback checkpoints to monitor execution progress; the system evaluates the deviation between the current state and the expected state every 100ms during execution. ;in, Indicates the actual state. This indicates the expected state. When the deviation exceeds the threshold (set to 0.5), a dynamic adjustment mechanism is triggered to adjust the plan based on real-time feedback.

[0039] The adjustment strategies include parameter fine-tuning (for small deviations), local replanning (for medium deviations), and global replanning (for large deviations). The system generates execution plans with adaptive branches, sets condition checks at each key point, and selects different execution paths based on the condition results.

[0040] The metacognitive monitoring and correction mechanism module is configured to improve system reliability and robustness by correcting errors and optimizing models through closed-loop feedback, providing assurance for secure deployment. Specifically, it includes: Assess the reliability of the decision and make necessary corrections: Integrate reasoning processes, decision-making plans, and environmental feedback information to conduct uncertainty analysis; Confidence estimation integrates confidence assessment methods, combining internal model confidence and external validation results: ;in, This represents the internal confidence level of the model (calculated from the probability distribution output by the language model). This represents the logical consistency score (calculated by checking the consistency between reasoning steps). The historical performance score (based on the historical performance of similar decisions) is represented by α, β, and γ, which are weighting coefficients (set to 0.4, 0.4, and 0.2, respectively).

[0041] The system employs a calibration algorithm to ensure the accuracy of confidence assessment; the calibration method is based on temperature scaling. ;in This represents the sigmoid function. This represents the temperature parameter (adjusted using the validation set, set to 1.5). Contradiction detection enables logical consistency checks, identifying logical contradictions in the reasoning process; The system represents the reasoning process as a logical predicate network and checks for contradictory predicate pairs. The contradiction detection algorithm is based on the resolution principle and finds contradictions through proof by contradiction. The system also applies a knowledge consistency check to identify conflicts with known facts by comparing the facts used in the reasoning with standard facts in the knowledge base. Knowledge gap identification enables knowledge coverage analysis, identifying blind spots in the reasoning process; System maintenance knowledge coverage diagram Among them, nodes Representing knowledge points, edges This represents the relationships between knowledge points; for each reasoning step, it checks whether the required knowledge point is in the coverage graph and calculates the coverage rate. ;in, This represents the set of knowledge points required for reasoning. It represents the set of available knowledge points; the system also applies incompleteness detection to identify missing links in the reasoning chain by checking whether the premise of each step of reasoning is supported by the conclusions or known facts of the previous steps.

[0042] A coordinated verification mechanism is established to verify the reliability of the inference results; Hypothesis generation implements diverse hypothesis generation algorithms to construct verifiable alternatives; based on the original inference results, multiple alternative hypotheses are generated by transforming key hypotheses: ;in, Indicates the original hypothesis, Indicates the first Transformation operations, Indicates the transformation parameters; Transformation operations include condition substitution (changing preconditions), reasoning path alteration (using different reasoning methods), and conclusion strength adjustment (enhancing or weakening the certainty of the conclusion). The system generates 10 alternative hypotheses and determines the verification order by prioritizing the hypotheses. Priority calculation is based on the verifiability of the hypothesis, the degree of difference from the original hypothesis, and the potential impact. Validation experiment design involves designing validation experiments to verify key hypotheses. For physical assumptions (such as "obstacles can be bypassed"), the system designs perception experiments, such as acquiring images of obstacles from different angles; for reasoning assumptions (such as "pedestrians will continue moving in the current direction"), the system designs prediction experiments, such as short-term tracking of pedestrian trajectories; for decision assumptions (such as "the current path is optimal"), the system designs comparison experiments, such as simulating the execution of multiple candidate paths.

[0043] The experimental design was validated by considering resource efficiency, and the validation cost was minimized through an optimization algorithm. ;in, This represents the i-th experiment. Indicates the cost of the experiment. This represents the assumed coverage rate. This represents the target coverage threshold (set to 0.9). Counterfactual reasoning enables the construction of counterfactual scenarios and the exploration of decision boundaries; the system generates counterfactual scenarios through reverse reasoning. ;in, Representing a real-world scenario, This indicates a modification operation. Indicates the amount of modification; The system generates multiple counterfactual scenarios to evaluate the performance of decisions under different conditions; sensitivity analysis assesses the impact by perturbing key factors. ;in, Indicates key factors, Represents the original scene. This indicates the scene after the disturbance. The decision function is represented. The system generates a robustness report that evaluates the performance of the decision under different conditions, including a robustness score (a real number between 0 and 1), a list of sensitive factors, and a description of failure conditions.

[0044] Integrate the validation results to generate metacognitive-corrected output; The results integration algorithm summarizes the validation results and evaluates the reliability of the original decision; the system calculates the validation score for each hypothesis: ;in, Indicates the verification of the hypothesis The experimental set, Indicates the experimental weights. Indicates the experimental results (1 indicates support, -1 indicates opposition, 0 indicates neutrality); The system applies a weighted fusion method to integrate the original decision and validation results: ; Indicates the original decision. This indicates a decision based on the verification results. This represents the fusion weight (dynamically adjusted based on the confidence level of the original decision, ranging from 0.3 to 0.7). The system generates a transparent explanation of the correction process; it produces three parts: the rationale for correction (explaining why the original decision needs to be corrected), supporting evidence (listing key evidence supporting the correction), and an explanation of uncertainties (indicating the uncertainties that remain after correction). The explanation uses a structured template to ensure clarity and conciseness. The system compares the differences between the original and corrected decisions, highlighting key changes.

[0045] Uncertainty propagation explicitly marks residual uncertainty; the system calculates the confidence interval for the correction decision: ;in, Indicates the confidence level corresponding to Value (z=1.96 at a 95% confidence level). The standard deviation represents the uncertainty. The system provides multiple possible options and their confidence levels, sorted in descending order of confidence level. Decision recommendations include a risk assessment, clearly indicating the potential risks, their severity, and their probability of occurrence. The uncertainty quantification module's parameters are adjusted through a model update mechanism; error analysis collects correction history and identifies systematic error patterns. The system maintains an error database, recording detailed information for each correction, including the original decision, correction decision, correction reason, and actual result. The error analysis algorithm identifies common error patterns through clustering and applies root cause analysis to determine the causes of errors. The system generates error type classifications, including four main categories: perceptual errors, reasoning errors, knowledge errors, and execution errors.

[0046] The parameter update implements the incremental learning algorithm, updating the parameters of the uncertainty quantization module. The update formula is: ;in, Indicates the current parameter. This represents the learning rate (set to 0.01). The loss function is defined as the cross-entropy between the prediction confidence and the actual correctness.

[0047] The system employs regularization techniques to prevent overfitting, specifically L2 regularization: ;in, This represents the regularization coefficient (set to 0.001). The system implements parameter version control, supports rollback operations, saves a parameter snapshot after each update, and records performance metrics.

[0048] The knowledge base update adds newly discovered knowledge to the knowledge base. The system implements three update operations: adding new knowledge (when unrecorded knowledge is discovered), updating erroneous knowledge (when a knowledge entry is found to be inconsistent with reality), and enhancing existing knowledge (adding new examples or details). The knowledge update process includes a verification step to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the new knowledge. The system optimizes the knowledge retrieval mechanism, updates the index structure, and improves retrieval efficiency.

[0049] AirSim's specific application scenarios: urban environment navigation and interaction; In an urban environment, AirSim achieved the following specific tasks: the drone needed to navigate between buildings, identify a specific target (a red car), and plan the optimal path to approach the target while avoiding dynamic obstacles and non-flying areas.

[0050] Environmental settings: The AirSim Neighborhood environment includes various buildings (residential and commercial), road networks, vehicles (stationary and moving), pedestrians, and vegetation. The environment size is 500 x 500 meters, and building heights range from 5 to 30 meters. Weather conditions are set to sunny with good visibility, a wind speed of 2 m / s, and a northeast wind direction. Time is set to 3 PM with moderate lighting conditions.

[0051] Drone configuration: A quadcopter drone model is used, with a maximum flight speed of 10 m / s and a maximum acceleration of 2 m / s. The maximum flight altitude is 120 meters, and the battery capacity is 5000mAh (supporting approximately 30 minutes of flight time). The drone is equipped with an RGB camera (1920×1080 resolution, 90° field of view), a depth camera (640×480 resolution, measurement range 0.1-100 meters), a 32-line LiDAR (10Hz scanning frequency, 100m measurement range), and an IMU sensor (100Hz sampling rate).

[0052] Task Flow: The detailed process of the system executing tasks is as follows: The system receives the user's instruction: "Locate the red car in the city center, approach it to within 5 meters and take a high-resolution photo, avoiding all obstacles and pedestrians, prioritizing safety."

[0053] The multimodal perception coding module processes the drone camera input. The visual coding submodule inputs RGB images into the CLIPViT-L / 14 model to extract visual feature vectors; the spatial coding submodule detects objects and constructs a scene representation by combining depth information; the temporal coding submodule processes the most recent 10 frames of data to capture dynamic changes. The three features are fused through a cross-modal attention mechanism to generate a unified scene representation.

[0054] The neural symbolic world model constructs a structured representation of the urban environment. The scene graph builder generates a scene graph containing buildings, roads, vehicles, and pedestrians. Each node contains location, category, and state information, and edges represent spatial and functional relationships between objects. The physics and dynamics simulator predicts the trajectories of moving objects (such as vehicles and pedestrians), taking into account physical constraints and traffic rules. The causal reasoning engine analyzes causal relationships in the environment, such as "a red light causes a vehicle to stop" or "a pedestrian approaching the road may be preparing to cross the road." The temporal update module maintains the dynamic changes in the environmental state, recording key events and state transitions.

[0055] The core cognitive analysis of the large language model considers the task objective and environmental state. The multi-source input processing module converts the scene graph into a text description: "The current scene contains 12 buildings, 8 vehicles (2 of which are red), 5 pedestrians, and a drone located on the northern edge of the city at a height of 50 meters." The context builder integrates the scene description, task objective, and background knowledge to generate structured prompts. The core language model (Qwen2.5-14B-Instruct) analyzes the prompts and generates the reasoning process: "First, we need to obtain a global perspective, identify the possible locations of the red vehicles, then plan a safe path to approach the target, considering building heights and dynamic obstacles." The parallel reasoning processing unit simultaneously executes three reasoning strategies (fast, standard, and deep) and checks the consistency of the reasoning through a self-verification mechanism. The result integration module merges the three reasoning results to generate the final cognitive result.

[0056] The hierarchical decision-making and planning system generates a three-stage execution plan: Phase 1 (Exploration Phase): Ascend to a height of 80 meters, obtain a global view, scan the city center area, and identify potential red vehicles.

[0057] Phase 2 (Planning Phase): After confirming the location of the red vehicle, plan the optimal approach path, taking into account buildings, dynamic obstacles, and safe distances.

[0058] Phase 3 (Execution Phase): Fly along the planned path, descend to an altitude of 15 meters, approach the target to a distance of 5 meters, adjust the angle, and take high-resolution photos.

[0059] The strategic planning layer breaks down the task into a network of sub-objectives, including "acquiring a global view," "identifying red vehicles," "planning a safe path," "approaching the target," and "taking photos." The information value assessment module calculates the value score of each piece of information and identifies "red vehicle location" and "obstacle distribution" as key information. The tactical execution layer generates detailed paths and action sequences, including atomic actions such as takeoff, cruising, hovering, and taking photos. The behavior optimization module optimizes the execution plan to ensure energy efficiency and safety.

[0060] The metacognitive monitoring mechanism assesses the reliability of the plan and identifies potential risks. The uncertainty quantification module calculates the plan's confidence level to be 0.87 and identifies two key uncertainties: "there may be navigation blind spots between buildings" and "the red vehicle may be moving." The active verification system designs and verifies experiments, including scanning gaps between buildings from different angles and short-term tracking of vehicle movement. The correction decision generator modifies the original plan based on the verification results, adding two sub-tasks: "reducing altitude before the blind spot" and "predicting the vehicle's trajectory." The learning update module records the decision-making process and updates the uncertainty assessment parameters.

[0061] The system executes the revised plan: The drone first ascended to a height of 80 meters to capture a panoramic view of the city.

[0062] The vision system detected three red vehicles in the city center and identified the target vehicles through shape and location analysis.

[0063] The system plans a path from the current location to the target vehicle, avoiding tall buildings and detected dynamic obstacles.

[0064] Before approaching densely built-up areas, the drone lowered its altitude to 30 meters, slowed to 5 m / s, and increased the sensor scanning frequency.

[0065] The system detects that the target vehicle is moving slowly, predicts its trajectory, and dynamically adjusts its approach path.

[0066] The drone successfully approached the target vehicle to a distance of 5 meters, adjusted its angle to obtain the best shooting perspective, and took high-definition photos.

[0067] After completing the mission, the drone returned to its starting position, taking a total of 142 seconds, with 68% battery capacity remaining.

[0068] System performance metrics: In 50 test tasks, the system achieved the following performance metrics: Target recognition accuracy: 94.3% (the percentage of red cars successfully identified); Path planning success rate: 92.7% (the percentage of successfully planned feasible paths); Obstacle avoidance rate: 99.8% (the percentage of obstacles successfully avoided); Task completion time: Average 78 seconds (from receiving instructions to completing the task); Energy efficiency: 35% higher than the baseline system (energy consumption to complete the same task); Exception handling success rate: 87.5% (the percentage of unexpected situations successfully handled); Decision correction frequency: 2.3 times per task on average (number of times the system self-corrects).
