This IIT Professor is Paving the Way for Drone Like Birds | IIT Madras TechTalk

We congratulate Prof. Sunetra Sarkar from Aerospace Engineering at IIT Madras along with her co-researchers for their incredible work in solving impossible aerodynamic puzzles. Normally, calculating the invisible air pressure around fast-flapping wings (like a bird or insect) takes weeks of massive supercomputer power . But this team figured out how to use a special Artificial Intelligence to instantly uncover this hidden pressure just by looking at how the surrounding air moves. Engineers can now skip the agonizingly slow computer simulations and rapidly design highly efficient, miniature bio-inspired drones and flexible devices that harvest their own energy right out of the wind. #deeptech #tech #iit #iitmadras #aerospace #professor #research #science
