Aerial manipulators based on conventional multirotors can conduct manipulation only in small roll and pitch angles due to the underactuatedness of the multirotor base. If the multirotor base is capable of hovering at arbitrary orientation,…

Manipulation and grasping with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) currently require accurate positioning and are often executed at reduced speed to ensure successful grasps. This is due to the fact that typical UAVs can only accommodate rigid…
The tailsitter vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) UAV is widely used due to its lower dead weight, which eliminates the actuators and mechanisms for tilting. However, the tailsitter UAV is susceptible to wind disturbances in multi-rotor…
