The strong dynamic coupling between the manipulator and the base poses a significant challenge to maintaining spacecraft attitude stability, potentially compromising mission safety. In this paper, we propose a Dual-Agent Coordinated Manipulation Planning (DACMP) framework that simultaneously achieves high-precision end-effector pose reaching for a 6-DoF space manipulator and attitude stabilization of the base spacecraft. To enhance learning efficiency, we present a prior policy-guided Deep Reinforcement Learning algorithm incorporating the Timestep-level Expert Switching Guidance (TESG) mechanism, thereby promoting global convergence and improving task success rates. Extensive experiments demonstrate that DACMP significantly outperforms baseline DRL algorithms in terms of task success rate and control precision. Furthermore, the robustness of DACMP is validated under various challenging scenarios, including system constraints, environmental disturbances, and perception uncertainties. The code and simulation configurations are available on GitHub: https://github.com/HIT-YuhuiHu/DACMP.

The capability of UAVs for efficient autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance in complex and unknown environments is critical for applications in agricultural irrigation, disaster relief and logistics. In this paper, we propose the DPRL (Distributed Privileged Reinforcement Learning) navigation algorithm, an end-to-end policy designed to address the challenge of high-speed autonomous UAV navigation under partially observable environmental conditions. Our approach combines deep reinforcement learning with privileged learning to overcome the impact of observation data corruption caused by partial observability. We leverage an asymmetric Actor-Critic architecture to provide the agent with privileged information during training, which enhances the model's perceptual capabilities. Additionally, we present a multi-agent exploration strategy across diverse environments to accelerate experience collection, which in turn expedites model convergence. We conducted extensive simulations across various scenarios, benchmarking our DPRL algorithm against the state-of-the-art navigation algorithms. The results consistently demonstrate the superior performance of our algorithm in terms of flight efficiency, robustness and overall success rate.

Open-Vocabulary Object Detection (OVD) faces severe performance degradation when applied to UAV imagery due to the domain gap from ground-level datasets. To address this challenge, we propose a complete UAV-oriented solution that combines both dataset construction and model innovation. First, we design a refined UAV-Label Engine, which efficiently resolves annotation redundancy, inconsistency, and ambiguity, enabling the generation of largescale UAV datasets. Based on this engine, we construct two new benchmarks: UAVDE-2M, with over 2.4M instances across 1,800+ categories, and UAVCAP-15K, providing rich image-text pairs for vision-language pretraining. Second, we introduce the Cross-Attention Gated Enhancement (CAGE) module, a lightweight dual-path fusion design that integrates cross-attention, adaptive gating, and global FiLM modulation for robust textvision alignment. By embedding CAGE into the YOLO-World-v2 framework, our method achieves significant gains in both accuracy and efficiency, notably improving zero-shot detection on VisDrone by +5.3 mAP while reducing parameters and GFLOPs, and demonstrating strong cross-domain generalization on SIMD. Extensive experiments and real-world UAV deployment confirm the effectiveness and practicality of our proposed solution for UAV-based OVD
