This article presents the construction of an aerial manipulator robot composed of one or two robotic arms on an unmanned aerial vehicle, in order to execute control tasks in an autonomous or tele-operated manner. This aerial manipulator robot can work with one or two arms depending on the application requirements. The arms have been designed to serve several purposes: object manipulation and protect the actuating servos against direct impacts and overloads. Finally, a trajectory tracking algorithm is implemented and the simulation results are presented and discussed, which validate the controller and the proposed modeling.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
