We present PersonaConvBench, a large-scale benchmark for evaluating personalized reasoning and generation in multi-turn conversations with large language models (LLMs). Unlike existing work that focuses on either personalization or conversational structure in isolation, PersonaConvBench integrates both, offering three core tasks: sentence classification, impact regression, and user-centric text generation across ten diverse Reddit-based domains. This design enables systematic analysis of how personalized conversational context shapes LLM outputs in realistic multi-user scenarios. We benchmark several commercial and open-source LLMs under a unified prompting setup and observe that incorporating personalized history yields substantial performance improvements, including a 198 percent relative gain over the best non-conversational baseline in sentiment classification. By releasing PersonaConvBench with evaluations and code, we aim to support research on LLMs that adapt to individual styles, track long-term context, and produce contextually rich, engaging responses.

This letter presents a complete framework Meeting-Merging-Mission for multi-robot exploration under communication restriction. Considering communication is limited in both bandwidth and range in the real world, we propose a lightweight environment presentation method and an efficient cooperative exploration strategy. For lower bandwidth, each robot utilizes specific polytopes to maintains free space and super frontier information (SFI) as the source for exploration decision-making. To reduce repeated exploration, we develop a mission-based protocol that drives robots to share collected information in stable rendezvous. We also design a complete path planning scheme for both centralized and decentralized cases. To validate that our framework is practical and generic, we present an extensive benchmark and deploy our system into multi-UGV and multi-UAV platforms.

In recent years, several progressive works promote the development of aerial tracking. One of the representative works is our previous work Fast-tracker which is applicable to various challenging tracking scenarios. However, it suffers from two main drawbacks: 1) the over simplification in target detection by using artificial markers and 2) the contradiction between simultaneous target and environment perception with limited onboard vision. In this paper, we upgrade the target detection in Fast-tracker to detect and localize a human target based on deep learning and non-linear regression to solve the former problem. For the latter one, we equip the quadrotor system with 360 degree active vision on a customized gimbal camera. Furthermore, we improve the tracking trajectory planning in Fast-tracker by incorporating an occlusion-aware mechanism that generates observable tracking trajectories. Comprehensive real-world tests confirm the proposed system's robustness and real-time capability. Benchmark comparisons with Fast-tracker validate that the proposed system presents better tracking performance even when performing more difficult tracking tasks.
