Learning to Fly Soft Hovering Drones

Advances in aerial robotics and autonomy have led to remarkable achievements, primarily through multirotor drones with rigid frames. However, Nature offers a different paradigm: Animal wings are significantly more flexible than these rigid structures, yet they achieve highly efficient and agile flight. This project reimagines multirotor design by focusing on soft, deformable structures and leverages reinforcement learning (RL) to control their unique dynamics. Show detailsaddremove
