This paper addresses the issue of controller complexity for multirotor aerial manipulator (AM) implementation by utilizing a special class of fully actuated hexrotor within the framework of a firmware, which allows standard multirotor actuation modes. Using this platform, manipulator and vehicle dynamics are decoupled, making the airframe inherently more robust than standard multirotor for trajectory tracking in AM applications. Furthermore, its unique design allows for the implementation of modular control strategies. The proposed rotor orientation model makes it possible to decouple the dynamics, allowing full analytical development of the optimal solution. A methodology for analysis, control allocation, and design of this special class of hexrotor is presented, and the implementation of a custom flight stack is demonstrated using a hexrotor prototype in closed-loop flight testing. The flight stack developed is compliant with the open-source ArduPilot Mega (APM) firmware, allowing it to take advantage of all generic multirotor control algorithms. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate feasibility of the system.

“…The methods on multicopter system identification are mainly divided into two different approaches: (i) direct computation of geometry and (ii) analysis from flight data [3]. For instance, CAD models are used to calculate all the missing parameters and the moment of inertia in [1], [4] for direct computation of geometry. In [1], [3], Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) is implemented to identify and estimate parameters of quadrotors from flight data.…”

Abstract-In this paper, a method to identify parameters of a multicopter is proposed via a compound pendulum test rig and data from an optical position tracking system. Moments of inertia and thrust parameters of a hexacopter are evaluated. In addition, a specific method is introduced to identify the torque by a propeller using a floating test bed. Then, nonlinear dynamic model is derived based on the obtained parameters. To verify the identification method, simulation results using the nonlinear model are compared with experimental results from flight tests.

“…Firstly, RAR system kinetic mechanism is rely on the aerodynamics produced by high-speed revolution of propellers, which results in the obvious nonlinear characteristics, strong coupling, under-actuated feature and high sensitivity to perturbations [4] . The RAMS dynamic complexity further increases owing to the operating mechanism, making system modeling and controller design much more difficult.…”

Abstract-With the development of rotor aerial robot, it has been widely used as a stabilized flying platform to achieve observation, communication relay and so on by equipping corresponding equipment, which are always called passive tasks. However, many applications need rotor aerial robots to possess more active capability, such as grasp, carry and assemblage. Thus, the demand for an aerial manipulation system gradually appears, and becomes a hot research issue in recent years. Aerial manipulator system, usually composed of rotor aerial robot and the manipulator, is a new type of robot system with active operating capability. Compared with the mobile manipulator based on the ground and underwater mobile robot which is now widely applied, the aerial manipulation has lager working range and better flexibility obviously. Unfortunately, the new aerial manipulation system also brings new challenges, such as strong dynamics coupling, the modeling and stabilization problem, etc. which may affect its further application. Thus, in our work, an actual physical aerial manipulator system is designed and implemented for its system and application research. Based on the system, the preliminary modeling and control was researched and also an experiment for grasping and carry application is conducted. The conclusions of these researches will help us to realize and improve the system in the future. I. INTRODUCTIONRotor aerial robots (RAR) have played an important role in anti-terrorist, disaster assistance, reconnaissance and surveillance for civil and military applications during past decades. They have lots of distinctive features, including low altitude flight and stable hover which are the basis of the above applications. Generally, the applications of RAR focused on some passive tasks like information collection, communication relay, etc. With the task and environment getting more and more complex, many applications need RAR to possess more active capabilities such as grasp, carry and assemblage. Especially, traditional mobile manipulators composed of manipulator and ground, underwater even space robots have been verified and successfully used in many applications. Inspired by this, rotor aerial manipulator system (RAMS) composed of a RAR and a manipulator becomes a research trend that has recently received great attention. Obviously, this combination will greatly increase
