UAVs Meet Embodied Intelligence: Bridging Human Intents and Flying Dynamics Via Harnessing Physical-Digital AI Agents

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 16, 2026 · UTC

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) extend embodied intelligence into continuous three-dimensional space, where perception, reasoning, physical embodiment, and action are tightly coupled through flight and environmental interaction. Recent advances in foundation models, world models, and AI agents are shifting UAV autonomy from task-specific perception and control toward systems that can interpret human intent, understand open environments, reason about physical consequences, and organize complex behaviors under embodiment and flight-dynamic constraints. We characterize this emerging paradigm as U
