    UDAV: Uncertainty-Driven Adaptive VLM Waypoint Planner

    UDAV enhances autonomous off-road navigation by equipping vision-language models with critical reliability metrics.

    Vision-language models (VLMs) can generate routes directly from aerial imagery for off-road navigation, but their predictions provide no indication of reliability. We present UDAV, an Uncertainty-Driven Adaptive VLM Waypoint Planner for UAV-guided UGV navigation. UDAV draws multi...
