This research introduces AGOS-Bench and a novel agentic framework enabling UAV-UGV teams to collaborate on object search using Vision-Language Models. By offloading complex coordination logic to a protocol, the method significantly boosts success rates across nine different VLM backbones without requiring additional training. The work establishes a critical benchmark for evaluating how embodied AI systems integrate aerial and ground-level perception in urban environments.
Towards Embodied Air-Ground Cooperative Object Search: Benchmark, Dataset and Agentic Method
arXiv:2609.08402v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Air-Ground Object Search (AGOS) in urban environments is a challenging embodied task, which requires an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and an Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) to jointly search for and verify a specified target vehicle from multi-view visual references. To study this underexplored problem, we introduce AGOS-Bench, the first dedicated benchmark for evaluating whether general-purpose Vision-Language Models (VLMs) can integrate aerial discoveries and ground-level verification through UAV-UGV cooperation. We further provide AGOS-Dataset as the companion resource of exemplary trajectories constructed by an automatic pipeline. It consists of 7.7k episodes for searching objects of diverse categories and attributes, spanning three difficulty levels. To address the AGOS task, we propose AGOS-Agent, a training-free and tool-augmented approach. The agentic method relieves VLMs from complex and dynamic coordination via a deliberate search-handoff-verify cooperation protocol, only demanding VLMs for scene understanding and decision-making. Extensive experiments on nine VLMs show that AGOS-Agent improves overall success rate for eight of the nine evaluated backbones while reducing decision steps for all nine. On the hard split, the SR and SPL of Gemini-3.6-Flash increase from 8.6% to 55.7% and from 7.6% to 44.0%, respectively.
