Performance Improves With AI-Optimized Virtual Wings
A research team including the University of Science and Technology Beijing reported studying the relationship between flight performance and wing shape using a biomimetic butterfly robot with adjustable wings.
What happened
According to a paper published in npj Robotics, a Nature Portfolio journal, the team conducted flight experiments with a butterfly robot whose wing shape could be adjusted and used deep reinforcement learning to explore wing designs. The researchers reported that the selected wing shape improved the lift-performance metric by 339% and the thrust-performance metric by 46%; validation on the physical robot also showed a prediction error of less than 7%.
