Simulation and Experimental Validation of an Autonomous Perching and Takeoff Method for a Multirotor UAV on Vertical Surfaces using a Suction Cup

This paper details the simulation and experimental validation of an autonomous perching and take-off method for a multirotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) using a suction cup perching mechanism on vertical surfaces. The suction cup interaction with different surface types is characterized with exper…
