Part 3/11:
In the late 2000s, researchers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center employed an evolutionary AI algorithm to create an antenna for a mission, transcending traditional design constraints. Unlike human-designed prototypes, which adhered to standard geometries, the AI produced unique structures that baffled engineers yet fulfilled the stringent requirements for signal quality and reliability. This radical approach has shifted how aerospace engineers approach design, opting for AI-driven creativity for various applications, including automobile aerodynamics and wind turbine blades.
