Smoke Visualization of Turbulence (VIDEO)
Caption
This slow-mo video, taken with smoke for visualization purposes, was obtained in the Caltech Real Weather Wind Tunnel system at significantly lower flow speed than the actual experiments.
(In a new paper in the journal npj Robotics, a team of researchers from Caltech and Nvidia describes a control strategy they have developed for unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs, called FALCON (Fourier Adaptive Learning and CONtrol). The strategy uses reinforcement learning, a form of artificial intelligence, to adaptively learn how turbulent wind can change over time and then uses that knowledge to control a UAV based on what it is experiencing in real time.)
