This paper presents a literature survey on aerial manipulation. First of all, an extensive study
of aerial vehicles and manipulation/interaction mechanisms in aerial manipulation is …

Aerial manipulation has direct application prospects in environment, construction, forestry,
agriculture, search, and rescue. It can be used to pick and place objects and hence can be …

Manipulating unmanned aerial vehicles (MUAVs) are aerial robots equipped with a
mechanism to physically interact with the environment. State estimation of such robots is 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 article develops a compliant control strategy for the aerial manipulation of high
precision, which is easy to deploy and transplant between the simulation and the real …

Control of an aerial manipulator is challenging due to the decentralized dynamics of the
aerial vehicle and the robotic arm. It is generally complex to adjust the controller of the aerial …

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 …

In this paper a Gain-Scheduled Proportional-Integral-Derivative (GS-PID) control technique
is developed and applied to an aerial manipulation system, which consists of two degrees of …

The unmanned aerial manipulator (UAM) is a kind of aerial robot that combines a quadrotor
aircraft and an onboard manipulator. This paper focuses on the problems of structure …

In this research, a novel design of a lightweight aerial manipulator system is proposed for
solar panel cleaning with active (CoG) compensation mechanism. Recently, separate solar …
