“…The development of this technology is motivated by interest in reducing the time, cost and risk for human workers associated with the realization of certain tasks in high altitude or difficult access workspaces such as power lines [1,2], chemical plants [3], oil and gas refineries [4], and other infrastructures [5,6]. Recent works in this field have demonstrated the possibility to conduct operations such as object grasping [7][8][9], valve turning [10], sensor installation and retrieval [2,11], contactbased inspection [3,12,13], insulation of cracks and leaks [14], or the realization of other tasks with grippers and other tools [15,16]. Several prototypes and morphologies of manipulators have been specifically developed for their integration in multi-rotors, including multi-joint arms [17,18], dual arm systems [7,10], linear actuators [11], delta manipulators [14], compliant joint arms [2,19,20], long reach aerial manipulators [2,21], or three-arm manipulators used for object grasping and as reconfigurable landing gear [22].…”
