Exp2VLA: Enabling Vision-Language-Action for Drone Navigation from Expert Demonstrations

arXiv:2607.03146v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-language-action (VLA) models open a new path toward intuitive robot control by directly linking perception, language, and action in a single end-to-end framework. Yet for UAVs, practical adoption remains difficult because existing solutions are either computationally heavy or insufficiently capable in complex environments. In this work, we propose a practical expert-distillation pipeline (Exp2VLA) for language-conditioned drone navigation. T...
