This article aims to investigate the research achievements related to aerial robots with
physical interaction. Various morphologies of aerial physical interaction (APhI) robot …

Achieving accurate control performance of the end-effector is critical for practical
applications of aerial manipulator. However, due to the presence of floating-base …

This paper introduces a novel compliant mechanism combining lightweight and energy
dissipation for aerial physical interaction. Weighting 400 g at take-off, the mechanism is …

Tilt-rotor aerial robots are more dynamic and versatile than their fixed-rotor counterparts,
since the thrust vector and body orientation are decoupled. However, the coordination of …

The design of an omnidirectional octorotor (OmniOcta) is the scope of this article. The pose
of the UAV's thrusters is computed via an optimization algorithm that guarantees the …

This paper presents a generalized discrete coupled kinematic model for a tendon-driven
aerial continuum manipulation system (TD-ACMS) based on the strain parameterization of …
