Schmidt AI in Science fellow Elena Shrestha, along with Derrick Yeo, lecturer in robotics, lead research in coordination with the Center for Autonomous Air Mobility and Sensing (CAAMS), a partnership between academia, industry, and government. Their work aims to improve guidance and control techniques for multi-mode unmanned aircraft systems by combining well-established aerodynamic principles with learning-based algorithms for inflight flowfield estimation.
