In the last decade, the aerial robotics community has witnessed an increased interest in fully
actuated multirotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that have more capabilities than …

Standard quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) possess a limited mobility because of
their inherent underactuation, that is, availability of four independent control inputs (the four …

The art installation Flight Assembled Architecture [1] is one of the first structures built by
flying vehicles. Culminating in a 6-m-tall tower composed of 1500 foam modules (see …

Mobility of a hexarotor UAV in its standard configuration is limited, since all the propeller
force vectors are parallel and they achieve only 4-DoF actuation, similar, eg, to quadrotors …

The aerial manipulator is a special and new type of flying robot composed of a rotorcraft
unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and a/several manipulator/s. It has gained a lot of attention …

This paper presents a relaxed definition of hover for multicopters with propellers pointing in
a common direction. These solutions are found by requiring that the multicopter remain …

Internet of Things is a crucial research empire in the current era which enables a wide
diversity of applications. One of the emerging classes of technology in recent age dominate …

A class of abstract aerial robotic systems is introduced, the laterally bounded force vehicles,
in which most of the control authority is expressed along a principal thrust direction, while …

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are seeing increasing adoption to automated remote and
in situ inspection of industrial assets, removing the need for hazardous manned access …

This paper presents a fully actuated UAV platform with a nonparallel design. Standard
multirotor UAVs equipped with a number of parallel thrusters would result in underactuation …
