Morphing wing Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) numerical simulation
that is using CFD for the aerodynamics, Adaptive Action Grid (AAG) for
the intelligent learning control, and Structured Adaptive Model Inverse
(SAMI) adaptive control for the flight controller. The integrated
combination of both is called Adaptive-Reinforcement Learning Control
(A-RLC). This video is a full nonlinear dynamical simulation of a
morphing UAV flying under closed-loop automatic control. It is flying a
cruise, descent, cruise, climb, and cruise flight profile which is
pre-specified. The optimal shape changes are not pre-programmed or
scheduled. Instead the UAV learns the optimal shape changes and how to
morph into them on its own, while maintaining flight stability and
trajectory tracking during the shape changes.
