Robot-Assisted Landing of VTOL UAVs: Design and Comparison of Coupled and Decoupling Linear State-Space Control Approaches
RA-L 2016
This paper addresses the problem of landing a VTOL UAV using a serial robotic manipulator fixed to the landing surface, which assists the UAV during the last, most challenging, landing phase. In this phase, UAV and manipulator are connected via a universal hinge, which decouples the flying vehicle’s
