Research: underwater robots swim faster and with greater precision using machine learning
Researchers from the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) developed a new approach to model the dynamics of underwater stingray-like robots using Machine Learning. This approach can enable more efficient swimming in complex underwater environments by accurately predicting required flapping motions for a set of given propulsive force targets.
