Robotic automation and unsupervised cluster assisted modeling for solving the forward and reverse design problem of paper airplanes

Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes, Kai Christian Junge, Nana Obayashi, Stefan Ilic

Although often regarded a childhood toy, the design of paper airplanes is subtly complex. The design space and mapping from geometry to distance flown is highly nonlinear and probabilistic where a single airplane design exhibits a multitude of trajectory f ...
