The aerial manipulator is a new type of aerial robot with active operation capability, which is composed of a rotary-wing drone and an actuator. Although aerial manipulation has greatly increased the scope of robot operations, the research on aerial manipulators also faces many difficulties, such as the selection of aerial platforms and actuators, system modeling and control, etc. This article attempts to collect the research team’s Achievements in the field of aerial robotic arms. The main results of the aerial manipulator system and corresponding dynamic modeling and control are reviewed, and its problems are summarized and prospected.
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.
