The idea of a novel Hybrid Ground Aerial robot (HGAR) which combines flying capability
and ground motion capability in one robot is briefly described. The HGAR has two …

A hybrid ground aerial robot (HGAR) has been developed to combine both capabilities of
aerial robots and ground mobile robots to overcome the limitations of each single type. This …

This paper proposes a novel aerial manipulator with tandem ducted fans, which takes both
trafficability and effective loading into account. The aerial manipulator is particularly suitable …

The lack of aerial physical interaction capability is one of the choke points limiting the
extension of aerial robot applications, such as rescue missions and aerial maintenance. We …

We describe the concept, design and implementation of an aerial robot that is able to
achieve precise and complex manipulation tasks at elevated altitudes. The aerial robot in …

In this paper, we consider a robotic arm attached to the bottom of an aerial vehicle which can
be used for tasks involving target points at a level higher than the vehicle's position. We …

Unmanned Helicopter based Aerial Manipulator (UH-AM) is a new conception of aerial
robots with arms, which changes the traditional searching RUAVs into operating aerial …

With the development of rotor aerial robot, it has been widely used as a stabilized flying
platform to achieve observation, communication relay and so on by equipping …

Stability is not trivial in aerial manipulation tasks because of the dynamical coupling
between the aerial vehicle and the manipulator. This is especially true when the manipulator …

To address the control challenges of an aerial manipulator arm (AMA) mounted on a drone
under conditions of model inaccuracy and strong disturbances, this paper proposes a …
