AI for Aerospace Control and Optimization
An illustration of AI for problem solving. https://www.advocatie.nl/innovatie-en-tech/britse-advocatuur-waakzaam-voor-artificial-intelligence/.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has great potential to solve the control and optimization problems of aerospace systems. In this project, we explore the following possibilties:
- Online aerodynamic performance optimization
- Gust and maneuver load alleviation
- Fault-tolerant control
- Suppression of limit-cycle oscillations
- Mechanical imperfection compensation
