| contents | This paper introduces a methodology for task-specific design optimization of multirotor Micro Aerial Vehicles. By leveraging reinforcement learning, Bayesian optimization, and covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy, we optimize aerial robot designs guided exclusively by their closed-loop performance in a considered task. Our approach systematically explores the design space of motor pose configurations while ensuring manufacturability constraints and minimal aerodynamic interference. Results demonstrate that optimized designs achieve superior performance compared to conventional multirotor configurations in agile waypoint navigation tasks, including against fully actuated designs from the literature. We build and test one of the optimized designs in the real world to validate the sim2real transferability of our approach. |
