Embracing Flow Unsteadiness: A High-Throughput Learning Platform Enables Vortex-Exploiting Bioinspired Propulsion

Biological swimmers and flyers exploit unsteady vortices for propulsion, whereas engineered vehicles usually suppress them as disturbances. Learning such flow exploitation in machines is difficult because real-fluid interaction data are scarce and unstructured exploration is unstable in high-dimensional, history-depend...
