A New Take on Modeling & Simulation for Improved Autonomy

Multiple factors limit the potential of modern autonomous systems (e.g., self-driving vehicles and uncrewed aircraft and watercraft). Autonomy is learned through modeling and simulation, given the expense of training in the real world. Generally, it goes like this: A model of the intended platform requiring autonomy is created. The model goes through various simulations in…
