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 …

This paper reviews the effect of multirotor aerial vehicle designs on their abilities in terms of
tasks and system properties. We propose a general taxonomy to characterize and describe …

This article analyzes the evolution and current trends in aerial robotic manipulation,
comprising helicopters, conventional underactuated multirotors, and multidirectional thrust …

The protection and restoration of the biosphere is crucial for human resilience and well-
being, but the scarcity of data on the status and distribution of biodiversity puts these efforts …

This article presents and validates active interaction force control and planning for fully
actuated and omnidirectional aerial manipulation platforms, with the goal of aerial contact …

Unified force-impedance control (UFIC) aims at integrating the advantages of impedance
control and force control. Compliance and exact force regulation are equally important …

This article presents a hierarchical passivity-based compliance controller that exploits robot
redundancy and aims at achieving an impedance behavior with a time-varying stiffness on …

While the variety of applications for Aerial Manipulators (AMs) has increased over the last
years, they are mostly limited to push-and-slide tasks. More complex manipulations of …

This letter addresses a fully-actuated Hexa-rotor's control under exogenous position and
attitude disturbances. For that aim, we propose a nonlinear and robust control based on a …

While aerial manipulation has witnessed noticeable growth as a field in the last decade,
most works investigated forms of interaction with static and rigid environments only …
