Feel stoked about my third foray into autonomous research:

"The snuggle is real"-evolving quadcopter frame geometry for Wh/km, with Claude as an occasional co-designer

This one came out a hybrid between classic evolutionary algorithm design and @karpathy-style autoresearch.

This stuff is so much fun!

Airloom“The snuggle is real” — evolving quadcopter frame geometry for Wh/kmA genetic algorithm with Claude as an occasional co-designer bred a 7-inch quad frame 16% more efficient across six simulated weather scenarios. Every candidate explorable in 3D, with real OpenFOAM streamlines. Free software, GPLv3.↗ alexisrondeau.me
