The days where swarms of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) will occupy our skies are fast
approaching due to the introduction of cost-efficient and reliable small aerial vehicles and …

Load transportation by quadrotors and similar aircrafts is a topic of great interest to the
robotics community nowadays, most likely due to logistic gains for deliveries of commercial …

Additive manufacturing methods,,–using static and mobile robots are being developed for
both on-site construction,,–and off-site prefabrication,. Here we introduce a method of …

With the pervasive use of Building Information Modelling (BIM), lean principles, digital
technologies, and offsite construction, the industry is at the cusp of this transformation. The …

Complex systems are characterized by many independent components whose low-level
actions produce collective high-level results. Predicting high-level results given low-level …

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 …

This paper presents aerial manipulation using a quadrotor with a two-DOF robot arm. By
considering a quadrotor and robot arm as a combined system, the kinematic and dynamic …

In this paper, we present selected benchmark aerial manipulation tasks using an aerial
vehicle endowed with multi-degree of freedom manipulators. The proposed tasks analyze …

This paper presents a vision guidance approach using an image-based visual servo (IBVS)
for an aerial manipulator combining a multirotor with a multidegree of freedom robotic arm …

Over the last decade, there has been an increased interest in developing aerial robotic
platforms that exhibit grasping and perching capabilities not only within the research …
