无人飞行器(UAV)在复杂室外环境中日益用于自主导航,动态条件与任务需求要求智能自适应决策。现有基于优化、机器学习和强化学习的方法通常依赖预设模型或特定任务训练,限制了其在不确定场景中的泛化能力。近期的大语言模型(LLM)辅助方法虽具推理潜力,但受限于代理功能不足,如记忆、规划与工具交互能力有限。本文提出一种基于大模型代理的路径规划框架(LAPF),用于城镇规模室外环境下的自主无人机导航。LAPF通过整合感知、记忆、规划与动作模块,构建闭环认知架构。该代理利用过往导航经验,执行思维链(CoT)推理,将每个检测到的障碍物关联至有界纠正动作,并根据环境反馈动态优化航点决策。三次独立实验表明,LAPF在开放场与障碍物注入场景中分别实现512.83米与506.37米的平均路径长度,相较直线最优路径497.33米,路径长度减少17.2%和15.6%,绝对路径效率分别为97.1%与98.1%。此外,LAPF是唯一将每个检测到的障碍物关联至有界、无量纲纠正动作并保持近目标稳定性的方法,两类场景中均实现零夹持事件;而CoT提示法夹持事件从9.7上升至14.0。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly deployed for autonomous navigation in complex outdoor environments, where dynamic conditions and mission requirements require intelligent adaptive decision-making. Existing optimization-based, Machine Learning (ML), and Reinforcement Learning (RL) approaches often rely on predefined models or task-specific training, limiting their generalization and adaptability in uncertain scenarios. Recent Large Language Model (LLM)-assisted approaches offer promising reasoning capabilities but remain constrained by limited agentic functionality, including insufficient memory, planning, and tool interaction mechanisms.This paper proposes an LLM-Agent-Based Path Finder (LAPF) framework for autonomous UAV navigation in town-scale outdoor environments. LAPF extends LLM-assisted navigation by integrating perception, memory, planning, and action modules into a closed-loop cognitive architecture. The proposed agent leverages prior navigation experiences, performs Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning, couples each detected hazard to a bounded corrective action, and dynamically refines waypoint decisions based on environmental feedback.The three independent trials per method demonstrate that LAPF achieves mean path lengths of 512.83 m and 506.37 m, compared to the straight-line optimum of 497.33 m, corresponding to path length reductions of 17.2% and 15.6% relative to CoT prompting and absolute path efficiencies of 97.1% and 98.1% in open-field and obstacle-injected scenarios, respectively. Furthermore, LAPF is the only evaluated approach that couples every detected hazard to a bounded, metric-neutral corrective action while maintaining near-goal stability, with zero clamp events in both scenarios, whereas CoT prompting increases from 9.7 to 14.0 events.
