Speaking the Navigator's Language: Trajectory-Grounded Instruction Translation for Frozen Aerial VLN Agents
Aerial vision-and-language navigation (VLN) agents are typically trained on detail-rich, trajectory-aligned commands, whereas users issue short, intent-driven instructions; on a frozen OpenFly navigator, this \emph{instruction gap} drops success rate (SR) from $31.03\%$ to $11.33\%$. To scale translator training, we prompt a language model with human-written style examples to convert original commands into paired, intent-centered Weak commands, which yield $15.27\%$ SR. We introduce the \textbf{Trajectory-Grounded Instruction Translator (TGIT)}, a front-end that keeps the navigator frozen and translates Weak inputs into agent-executable commands by learning from its trajectory outcomes.
