When a SpaceX rocket failure set the skies aflame over western Europe last February, no-one was sure if the debris was also polluting our atmosphere. Now scientists are directly linking the uncontrolled rocket re-entry to a plume of lithium measured less than 100km above Earth. It is the first time researchers have drawn a direct link between a known piece of space debris crashing to Earth and pollution levels. They warn that as SpaceX chief Elon Musk pledges to launch one million satellites in the coming years, this contamination could be the tip of the iceberg. The scientists were already investigating the problem of pollution from space debris when they realised a SpaceX Falcon 9 had failed in flight.

Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) aims to develop embodied agents that navigate based on human instructions. However, current VLN frameworks often rely on static environments and optimal expert supervision, limiting their real-world applicability. To address this, we introduce Human-Aware Vision-and-Language Navigation (HA-VLN), extending traditional VLN by incorporating dynamic human activities and relaxing key assumptions.

The process for calculating these metrics is described in Appendix C. Moreover, to ensure the comparability between prediction performance metrics and driving performance metrics in the radar plot, we normalize all metrics to the scale of [0, 1]. In the subsequent section, we provide an overview of the DESPOT planner. These two values can only be inferred from history. The safety is represented by the normalized collision rate.

Simulation agents are controlled objects that perform realistic behaviors in a virtual world.

Learning high-quality feature embeddings efficiently and effectively is critical for the performance of web-scale machine learning systems.

In this paper, we introduce the community exploration problem, which is abstracted from many real-worldapplications.
