A harsh truth: as bad as North American wildfires have grown over the past several years, things are only going to get worse. Climate change continues to accelerate the issue, putting people, property, nature and animals at risk. "As of now, the military-grade drones used by those fighting wildfires are high-altitude aircraft that fly far above the trees," Carnegie Mellon University PhD student Andrew Jong notes.
FluidLab is a simulation tool for robots to manipulate complex fluids. The tool was developed to help robots more effortlessly assist with daily fluid-related tasks.
SoftZoo is an open-source platform developed at MIT CSAIL that simulates wildlife for soft robotics co-design more systematically and computationally, thus better advancing the development of relevant algorithms.
