“…There is currently a boom in flying robots, in particular robots with rotating wings such as quadropters and fixed-wing robots (43). Self-propelled flapping-wing robots, also called ornithopters, are less common (44).…”

Abstract:The graceful and agile movements of animals are difficult to analyze and emulate because locomotion is the result of a complex interplay of many components: the central and peripheral nervous systems, the musculoskeletal system, and the environment. The goals of biorobotics are to take inspiration from biological principles to design robots that match the agility of animals, and to use robots as scientific tools to investigate animal adaptive behavior. Used as physical models, biorobots contribute to hypothesis testing in fields such as hydrodynamics, biomechanics, neuroscience, and prosthetics. Their use may contribute to the design of prosthetic devices that more closely take human locomotion principles into account.

“…To conclude this section an overview of power management and techniques for mitigating the severely limited energy autonomy of flying robots is presented. For complementary information or for a review of relatively larger unmanned aerial vehicles and related control techniques, the reader is referred to the book chapter on aerial robotics by Feron and Johnson (2008).…”

“…As far as control engineering is concerned of, the research interest has been mainly driven by the domains of application where such vehicles are typically employed, such as surveillance and data acquisition in areas that are dangerous for human operators and inaccessible to ground vehicles [1]. Some of the most challenging research topics, in particular, include coordination with other vehicles [2], acrobatic flight [3], localization and reconstructions of unknown environments [4], Recent attempts are shifting the attention also on different applicative scenarios requiring ad-hoc mechanical configurations and control solutions.…”

This work focuses on the modeling and control of an innovative configuration of aerial robot arising from the combination of a vertical take-off and landing aircraft and a robotic arm. The overall system, denoted as aerial manipulator, is able to accomplish operations requiring the physical interaction with the surrounding environment while remaining airborne. After introducing a detailed dynamical model, a control law, based on the impedance control paradigm, able to govern all the degrees of freedom of the system is proposed. The effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm are investigated also considering the case in which contacts with the surrounding environment are achieved.
