Cargo drones are designed to carry payloads with predefined shape, size, and/or mass. This
lack of flexibility requires a fleet of diverse drones tailored to specific cargo dimensions. Here …

This paper is concerned with the problem of cooperative transportation of payloads by teams
of unmanned aerial multirotor vehicles equipped with dexterous robotic arms. In order to …

Cooperative transportation by multi-aerial robots has the potential to support various
payloads and improve fail-safe against dropping. Furthermore, changing the attachment …

The control problem of a multi-copter swarm, mechanically coupled through a modular
lattice structure of connecting rods, is considered in this article. The system's structural …

In this paper, a method for online parameter estimation and automatic control of a system of
rigidly attached quadcopters is introduced. First, the method performs an estimation of the …

This paper presents an integrated framework that integrates the kinematic and dynamic
parameter estimation of an irregular object with non-uniform mass distribution for …

Advancements in robotics have led to innovative approaches that employ quadcopters for
carrying loads. In this paper, we introduce a unique system: a cooperative aerial robot …

This paper addresses the problem of cooperative transport of a point mass hoisted by two
aerial robots. Treating the robots as a leader and a follower, the follower stabilizes the …

Achieving cooperative transportation by teams of aerial robots has been attracting attention
owing to its flexibility with respect to payloads and robustness against failures. In this paper …

The control problem of a multi-copter swarm, physically connected within a modular lattice
structure, is considered in this article. The end-to-end connected mechanical structure …
