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 …

This review concentrates on three main challenges of controlling a quadrotor unmanned
aerial vehicle (UAV) as an underactuated mechanical system (UMS). The challenges …

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

We present the design, motion planning, and control of an aerial manipulator for non-trivial
physical interaction tasks, such as pushing while sliding on curved surfaces-a task which is …

This paper presents a novel paradigm for physical interactive tasks in aerial robotics
allowing reliability to be increased and weight and costs to be reduced compared with state …

We propose a novel aerial manipulation platform, an omnidirectional aerial robot, that is
capable of omnidirectional wrench generation with opportunistically distributed/aligned …

Motion control theory applied to multi-rotor aerial vehicles (MAVs) has gained attention with
the recent increase in the processing power of computers, which are now able to perform the …

Small-scale rotorcraft unmanned robotic systems (SRURSs) are a kind of unmanned
rotorcraft with manipulating devices. This review aims to provide an overview on aerial …

In this paper, a cascade PID feedback control algorithm is proposed to stabilize the attitude
of a quadcopter so that the balancing state can be ensured in spite of disturbances. A …

A multilayer architecture to control multirotor UAVs equipped with a servo robot arm is
proposed in this paper. The main purpose is to control the aerial platform taking into account …
