ParkingTransformer: LLM-Enhanced End-to-End Trajectory Planning for Autonomous Parking

End-to-end autonomous parking has emerged as a critical task within the realm of autonomous driving. However, existing methods suffer from black-box characteristics, lacking high-level semantic understanding and interpretability, which impedes the realization of seamless long-distance autonomous parking from the road to the target spot. To address these limitations, we propose ParkingTransformer, a novel framework that leverages multi-view perception and the scene understanding capability of Large Language Models (LLMs). By combining trajectory queries with LLMs implicit state features, our method interacts directly with historical information and raw sensor data to output planning trajectories, eliminating the need for dense Bird's-View (BEV) representations. To compensate for the inadequate spatial reasoning ability of LLMs, we introduce 3D positional encoding to explicitly inject spatial geometric awareness. Furthermore, a fixed-window streaming mechanism is designed for historical information processing, significantly improving long-term temporal processing efficiency and inference speed. Additionally, a coarse-to-fine decoding strategy is employed to progressively enhance trajectory precision. Extensive closed-loop experiments are conducted on the CARLA simulator and real-world vehicle platforms. The results demonstrate that our method achieves a driving score of 61.32 in CARLA simulator and an average success rate of 88.70% in real-world experiments, validating the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.

Wild-Drive: Off-Road Scene Captioning and Path Planning via Robust Multi-modal Routing and Efficient Large Language Model

Explainability and transparent decision-making are essential for the safe deployment of autonomous driving systems. Scene captioning summarizes environmental conditions and risk factors in natural language, improving transparency, safety, and human--robot interaction. However, most existing approaches target structured urban scenarios; in off-road environments, they are vulnerable to single-modality degradations caused by rain, fog, snow, and darkness, and they lack a unified framework that jointly models structured scene captioning and path planning. To bridge this gap, we propose Wild-Drive, an efficient framework for off-road scene captioning and path planning. Wild-Drive adopts modern multimodal encoders and introduces a task-conditioned modality-routing bridge, MoRo-Former, to adaptively aggregate reliable information under degraded sensing. It then integrates an efficient large language model (LLM), together with a planning token and a gate recurrent unit (GRU) decoder, to generate structured captions and predict future trajectories. We also build the OR-C2P Benchmark, which covers structured off-road scene captioning and path planning under diverse sensor corruption conditions. Experiments on OR-C2P dataset and a self-collected dataset show that Wild-Drive outperforms prior LLM-based methods and remains more stable under degraded sensing. The code and benchmark will be publicly available at https://github.com/wangzihanggg/Wild-Drive.

LVD-GS: Gaussian Splatting SLAM for Dynamic Scenes via Hierarchical Explicit-Implicit Representation Collaboration Rendering

3D Gaussian Splatting SLAM has emerged as a widely used technique for high-fidelity mapping in spatial intelligence. However, existing methods often rely on a single representation scheme, which limits their performance in large-scale dynamic outdoor scenes and leads to cumulative pose errors and scale ambiguity. To address these challenges, we propose \textbf{LVD-GS}, a novel LiDAR-Visual 3D Gaussian Splatting SLAM system. Motivated by the human chain-of-thought process for information seeking, we introduce a hierarchical collaborative representation module that facilitates mutual reinforcement for mapping optimization, effectively mitigating scale drift and enhancing reconstruction robustness. Furthermore, to effectively eliminate the influence of dynamic objects, we propose a joint dynamic modeling module that generates fine-grained dynamic masks by fusing open-world segmentation with implicit residual constraints, guided by uncertainty estimates from DINO-Depth features. Extensive evaluations on KITTI, nuScenes, and self-collected datasets demonstrate that our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance compared to existing methods.
