Input Optimization

A video describing our work can be found here.

Demonstrations of our method in three different simulation environments:

1. WaterLily.jl
2. Aerobench
3. X-Plane 11

We also benchmark our method against the orthogonal multisine method proposed by Morelli:

Instructions

Navigate to path/to/InputOptimization

] activate .
using InputOptimization

To run the experiments with the Aerobench simulator:

julia> InputOptimization.run_f16_experiments()

To run the experiments with WaterLily.jl:

julia> InputOptimization.run_cylinder_experiments()

To run X-Plane, first open X-Plane and load a new flight. Then

julia --threads 1,8
] activate .
using InputOptimization
julia> InputOptimization.run_xplane()

and follow instructions in the terminal. Make sure you have the relevant .sit file loaded in /path/to/X-Plane 11/Output/situations/short_cessna.sit. You can find the one used in the paper here.
