Researchers are developing new methods for Vision-Only Long-Horizon Navigation (VoLN), a paradigm that relies on locally observable cues rather than explicit route instructions. VoLN-UAV is a new benchmark for aerial navigation, featuring thousands of episodes designed to test agents in GPS-denied environments. Existing approaches like VoLN-MLLM and Fly0 show promise, with Fly0 decoupling semantic reasoning from geometric planning to improve trajectory control and reduce computational overhead. Other systems, such as PGN based on the Pangu Multimodal Foundation Model and HiMemVLN with a hierarchical memory system, are also being explored to enhance navigation performance and reliability, particularly for open-source models.
