Aerial manipulation aims at combining the versatility and the agility of some aerial platforms
with the manipulation capabilities of robotic arms. This letter tries to collect the results …

In this paper a behavioral control framework is developed to control an unmanned aerial
vehicle-manipulator (UAVM) system, composed by a multirotor aerial vehicle equipped with …

In this paper, an impedance control scheme for aerial robotic manipulators is proposed, with
the aim of reducing the end-effector interaction forces with the environment. The proposed …

This paper presents the design and experimental validation of a compliant and lightweight 3-
DOF robotic arm-shoulder yaw, shoulder pitch and elbow pitch joints-equipped with a …

This paper focuses on the modelling and control of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
equipped with robotic arms, known as Unmanned Aerial Manipulators (UAMs). The main …

This paper addresses the trajectory tracking control problem for a quadrotor aerial vehicle,
equipped with a robotic manipulator (aerial manipulator). The controller is organized in two …

This work tackles the problem of controlling an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle equipped with a
robotic Manipulator and it has been developed within the framework of the EU-funded …

In this paper, we model an aerial vehicle, specifically a quadrotor, and a load attached to
each other by a rigid link. We assume a torque input at the joint between the aerial vehicle …

The low level control for an underwater vehicle equipped with a manipulator is addressed in
this paper. The end-effector trajectory is assumed to be properly inverted into vehicle and …

We present a novel aerial manipulator concept composed of a fully actuated hexarotor aerial
vehicle and an n degree of freedom manipulator. Aiming at interaction tasks, we present a …
