researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Developed a new algorithm that can help stabilize planes in low altitudes.
researchwhich has not yet been submitted for peer-review, was released in early June, and addresses previous problems with stabilization in robotic systems.
Traditional methods of stabilization are often designed to address specific issues rather than general stabilization issues. They also do not scale well when dealing with dynamic, nonlinear and high dimensional paths.
A practical application of this research is in aircraft autopilots, particularly jet aircraft.
researchers chose Make a Model of the F-16 In a near-crash situation, in which the aircraft must avoid ground collision while maintaining a low altitude and staying inside a narrow flight corridor.
The researchers found that their method achieved better stability during training and avoided instability caused by attempting to find the saddle point, where the aircraft is balanced between all angles.
Simulations showed that their approach consistently produced results that matched or exceeded the safety of existing methods, while providing a tenfold increase in stability performance.
Use of AI in Initiatives
using the artificial intelligenceThe researchers were able to create two algorithms that can keep aircraft more stable and safer than conventional algorithms.
Research currently only allows the algorithm to solve simple flight challenges, with more complex maneuvers still not possible.
The researchers believe that this is only the starting point, and that with more research, more complex algorithms better suited to handle complex scenarios could be developed. However, they also say that it could be implemented as part of a larger system, in which this algorithm could be used to stabilize aircraft during extreme conditions where humans would be too slow to act. Will happen.
