Simulation of Environmental Extremes for Airwake-Aware UAV Autonomy
University of Liverpool
Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
Airwake-Aware Autonomy redefines how UAVs navigate complex terrain like forests and ravines. Instead of treating wind as a random disturbance, this project models structured, terrain-induced airflow, allowing autonomous flight systems to anticipate, adapt, and safely operate in complex environments.
