The approach has been tested on various simulated systems, including power grids, aircraft collision avoidance systems, rescue drones, and robotic manipulators. By taking a sensitive approach and generating random changes within the system, the algorithm can identify a wider range of failures and potential fixes. The researchers believe this approach can be applied to any autonomous system with an accurate simulation. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
