Abstract

In this paper, we tackle the Aerial Vision-and-Dialog Navigation (AVDN) task in the training-free setting for resource-efficient high-altitude UAV this http URL applying MLLMs leads to unreliable navigation due to weak directional grounding and the lack of explicit spatial this http URL address these issues, we propose PSC-AVDN, a training-free framework that tightly couples a three-stage Parsing-Search-Confirmation reasoning pipeline with a Structured Spatial Memory (SSM).The parsing stage uses an LLM to convert ambiguous dialogue instructions into stable geometric directional and destination cues.A Search Chain-of-Thought (S-CoT) then performs stepwise target exploration under high-altitude observations, and a Confirmation Chain-of-Thought (C-CoT) conducts fine-grained verification around candidate regions to resolve visual this http URL, SSM integrates three complementary sources of spatial cues, including multi-scale visual observation, spatial visual memory, and structured geometric memory to provide global spatial context and long-horizon this http URL experiments on ANDH and ANDH-Full show that PSC-AVDN establishes new state-of-the-art performance in the training-free setting, matching or surpassing several finetuned this http URL will be publicly available at: this https URL
