&lt;p>From 24.06.26 to 28.06.26, the B-prepared visited the city of Rowy on the Baltic Sea. We were hosted by the municipality of Ustka, Poland, and Sean Klein attended on behalf of the University of the Bundeswehr Munich.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>The main event was the live drill at the coast. It was well organized and run by local volunteer organisations. We could observe closely how experts dealt with various scenarios related to the dangers that the Baltic Sea poses to its residents.&lt;/p>

&lt;p>Vom 24.06.26 bis zum 28.06.26 besuchte B-prepared die Stadt Rowy an der Ostsee. Gastgeber war die Gemeinde Ustka in Polen, und Sean Klein nahm im Namen der Universität der Bundeswehr München teil.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>Das Hauptereignis war die Live-Übung an der Küste. Sie war gut organisiert und wurde von lokalen Freiwilligenorganisationen durchgeführt. Wir konnten aus nächster Nähe beobachten, wie Expertinnen und Experten mit verschiedenen Szenarien im Zusammenhang mit den Gefahren umgingen, die die Ostsee für ihre Anwohnerinnen und Anwohner mit sich bringt.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>Neben der Übung besuchten wir eine lokale Veranstaltung, um B-prepared zu vertreten. Dort hatten unsere Partner die Gelegenheit, VR-prepared den Bürgerinnen und Bürgern vorzustellen. Außerdem führten wir sehr interessante Gespräche über die nächsten Schritte und die Finalisierung des Projekts.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>Insgesamt waren diese Tage sehr produktiv und angenehm.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>Vielen Dank an Ustka für die hervorragende Gastfreundschaft und an alle Partner für den konstruktiven Austausch. Es war schön, alle wiederzusehen!&lt;/p>

&lt;p>During the first test flights of the season, we successfully evaluated the changes made to AUSPEX over the winter on our heterogeneous multi-UAV fleet. The tests allowed us to validate the updated system in real flight conditions and to assess its performance across different UAV platforms.&lt;/p>

&lt;h2>Paper Summary&lt;/h2>
&lt;p>
The paper addresses problem-instance acquisition for robot missions described in natural language. It combines an LLM-based goal and constraint extraction module with a planner-specific projection layer, allowing operator-defined mission instructions to be translated into structured representations for downstream planning systems. The approach is evaluated on mission instructions and demonstrated in AUSPEX for a Search and Rescue UAV scenario.

Dynamic REAP extends UAV simulation for planning and acting frameworks by combining accurate vehicle physics with georeferenced semantic segmentation and dynamic background characters. The system demonstration shows how realistic Search and Rescue scenarios can be used to validate UAV decision-making, perception, and planning pipelines before deployment in real-world missions.

&lt;p>&lt;strong>Workshop:&lt;/strong> &lt;a href="https://icaps25.icaps-conference.org/program/workshops/planrob/">PlanRob: Planning and Robotics&lt;/a>&lt;/p>
&lt;p>&lt;strong>Date:&lt;/strong> 10 November 2025&lt;/p>
&lt;p>&lt;strong>Title:&lt;/strong> Making Unified Planning Dynamic by Incorporating World State Updates via Feedback Loops&lt;/p>
&lt;p>&lt;strong>Presented by:&lt;/strong> Björn Döschl&lt;/p>
&lt;p>&lt;strong>Authors:&lt;/strong> Björn Döschl, Jane Jean Kiam&lt;/p>
&lt;p>
This workshop paper presents an architectural and functional extension to the Unified Planning framework for dynamic robot missions. The approach constructs planning problem instances from updated world states, integrates execution feedback, and enables replanning during mission execution. The work is demonstrated in the AUSPEX framework with the REAP simulation environment for UAV-based Search and Rescue missions.

The poster presents a planner-independent pipeline for extracting goals and constraints from natural-language mission instructions. The approach uses an LLM-based goal and constraint extraction module and a planner-specific projection layer, enabling operator-defined mission goals to be translated into structured representations for downstream planning systems.

&lt;p>During the event, we showcased the capabilities of the AUSPEX framework in realistic search and rescue scenarios. One scenario demonstrated how a missing person was located by a heterogeneous drone swarm, identified using advanced object detection, and subsequently supported by a second drone that delivered a first-aid kit directly to the position.&lt;/p>

Our university was represented by Fridolin Spiegel, an aerospace engineering student in his bachelors, and by one of our researchers from the AI-Lab, &lt;a href="https://unibwm-ifs-ailab.github.io/author/prakash-jamakatel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Prakash Jamakatel&lt;/a>. They both achieved the second place in the VR-prepared and IM-prepared challenges respectively. Congratulations!🎉&lt;/p>
&lt;p>The team of &lt;a href="https://unibwm-ifs-ailab.github.io/author/prakash-jamakatel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Prakash&lt;/a>, &lt;a href="https://unibwm-ifs-ailab.github.io/author/kai-sommer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kai Sommer&lt;/a> and &lt;a href="https://unibwm-ifs-ailab.github.io/author/bjorn-doschl/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Björn Döschl&lt;/a> worked on a game running in the browser both on Desktop and Mobile platforms. Their goal is to raise players’ awareness of the avalanche risks faced by skiers, snowboarders, and mountaineers in alpine regions. In the real world, persons are required to carry an avalanche transceiver. This is a small handheld device that emits and receives radio signals, allowing rescuers to quickly locate buried victims. The game guides through the process of using such a device to find such victims. We plan to integrate this game into B-prepared soon, stay tuned!&lt;/p>

&lt;br>
&lt;p>Meanwhile, Fridolin developed a game that trains laypeople to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and to call emergency medical services (EMS) within the game. This topic is crucial: most people rarely refresh their first-aid training, and very few have practiced making an emergency call before a real emergency occurs. Great work!&lt;/p>
&lt;p>Fridolin will continue refining his prototype during his studies. Once it is complete, we will integrate our dialogue agent into his game to provide realistic simulations with professional call-takers.&lt;/p>

&lt;/section>
&lt;section>
&lt;h2>Paper Abstract&lt;/h2>
&lt;p>Command and Control (C2) for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) missions requires the dynamic coordination of task planning, environmental perception, and navigation strategies. While Large Language Model (LLM-) modulo planning frameworks have shown promise in addressing such complexity, due to their capabilities to understand natural language and common sense, their limited robustness remains a challenge. Recent adaptions of such frameworks made online planning possible, but they do not scale well with the number of actions. This limits the applicability in robotic frameworks with large sets of parameterized actions, such as those encountered in UAV C2. We introduce SaynFly, an LLM-modulo online planning framework that streamlines the action space by discarding infeasible actions using domain-specific knowledge, while leveraging online heuristic search to mitigate reward uncertainty and automate the C2 processes for UAVs. Test results for our Search and Rescue (SAR) validation scenarios show that SaynFly is 70% more efficient compared to existing frameworks while maintaining or exceeding success rates.&lt;/p>

Our Multikopter MK-U20 (ArduPilot) and Holybro x500v2 (PX4) both received and executed mission plans from AUSPEX seamlessly.&lt;/p>
&lt;h2 id="english">English&lt;/h2>
&lt;p>A breakthrough for the AUSPEX framework ( &lt;a href="https://github.com/UniBwM-IFS-AILab/AUSPEX" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://github.com/UniBwM-IFS-AILab/AUSPEX&lt;/a> ) - we successfully demonstrated coordinated autonomous operations with a heterogeneous drone fleet, strengthening our real-world search and rescue capabilities.&lt;/p>

&lt;/div>&lt;/figure>
&lt;/p>
&lt;p>The test involved two different platforms: our Multikopter MK-U20 (ArduPilot) and Holybro x500v2 (PX4). This diversity represents realistic search and rescue scenarios where different organizations deploy various drone types that must work together seamlessly.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>AUSPEX generated mission plans distributed to both drones simultaneously. Each platform received waypoint-based search patterns while maintaining coordination with the overall mission. Both drones executed their tasks autonomously, with remote controls ready only for emergency intervention.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>

&lt;/div>&lt;/figure>
&lt;/p>
&lt;p>The successful integration across different autopilot ecosystems demonstrates AUSPEX&amp;rsquo;s platform-agnostic design. The framework effectively communicated with both ArduPilot and PX4 systems, proving its versatility for heterogeneous fleet operations - crucial for real-world scenarios where rescue teams coordinate various drone platforms.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>This test validates AUSPEX&amp;rsquo;s ability to handle multi-platform coordination while maintaining the reliability required for critical missions.&lt;/p>

&lt;p>Ein Durchbruch für das AUSPEX-Framework ( &lt;a href="https://github.com/UniBwM-IFS-AILab/AUSPEX" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://github.com/UniBwM-IFS-AILab/AUSPEX&lt;/a> ) - wir demonstrierten erfolgreich koordinierte autonome Operationen mit einer heterogenen Drohnenflotte und stärkten damit unsere Fähigkeiten für reale Such- und Rettungsanwendungen.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>Der Test umfasste zwei verschiedene Plattformen: unseren Multikopter MK-U20 (ArduPilot) und eine Holybro x500v2 (PX4). Diese Vielfalt repräsentiert realistische Such- und Rettungsszenarien, bei denen verschiedene Organisationen unterschiedliche Drohnentypen einsetzen müssen, die nahtlos zusammenarbeiten sollen.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>AUSPEX generierte Missionspläne, die gleichzeitig an beide Drohnen verteilt wurden. Jede Plattform erhielt wegpunktbasierte Suchmuster bei gleichzeitiger Koordination mit dem Gesamtmissionsziel. Beide Drohnen führten ihre Aufgaben autonom aus, wobei die Fernbedienungen nur für Notfälle bereitgehalten wurden.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>Die erfolgreiche Integration verschiedener Autopilot-Ökosysteme demonstriert das plattformunabhängige Design von AUSPEX. Das Framework kommunizierte effektiv mit ArduPilot- und PX4-Systemen und bewies seine Vielseitigkeit für heterogene Flottenoperationen - entscheidend für reale Szenarien, bei denen Rettungsteams verschiedene Drohnenplattformen koordinieren müssen.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>Dieser Test validiert die Fähigkeit von AUSPEX, Multi-Plattform-Koordination zu bewältigen und dabei die für kritische Missionen erforderliche Zuverlässigkeit zu gewährleisten.&lt;/p>

&lt;h2 id="english">English&lt;/h2>
&lt;p>We’re excited to share that the AUSPEX framework, which has been developed in our group, has achieved its first successes in real-world flight tests.
The goal of AUSPEX is to develop a modular, open-source framework for decision-making support in search and rescue missions using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).&lt;/p>
&lt;p>During our recent test flights, we were able to successfully demonstrate core capabilities of the framework for the first time: generating a waypoint-based search plan and having it executed autonomously by two UAVs. The remote controls were held in hand - solely for emergency intervention.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>Of course, these successful tests were preceded by a few crashes — an inevitable part of the learning process.&lt;/p>
&lt;h2 id="german">German&lt;/h2>
&lt;p>Wir freuen uns, berichten zu können, dass das in unserer Gruppe entwickelte AUSPEX-Framework erste Erfolge in realen Flugtests erzielen konnte.
Ziel von AUSPEX ist die Entwicklung eines modularen, Open-Source-Frameworks zur Entscheidungsunterstützung bei Such- und Rettungsmissionen mit unbemannten Luftfahrzeugen (UAVs).&lt;/p>
&lt;p>In unseren jüngsten Testflügen konnten wir erstmals zentrale Funktionen des Frameworks erfolgreich demonstrieren: die Erstellung eines Suchplans mit Wegpunkten sowie dessen autonome Ausführung durch zwei UAVs. Die Fernbedienung in der Hand diente lediglich als Sicherheitsmaßnahme, um im Notfall eingreifen zu können.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>Den erfolgreichen Tests gingen natürlich auch ein paar Abstürze voraus – wohl ein unvermeidlicher Teil des Lernprozesses.&lt;/p>
