Ducted fan UAVs (DFUAVs), characterized by vector thrust, vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capabilities, and high safety, have found widespread applications in both military and civilian scenarios. However, their limited endurance remains a significant constraint on their broader applications. To
In recent years, research on aerial grasping, manipulation, and transportation of objects has garnered significant attention. These tasks often require UAVs to operate safely close to environments or objects and to efficiently grasp payloads. However, current widely adopted flying platforms pose saf…
For agile fixed-wing aerial robots, the vertical/horizontal flight mode transition is a fundamental requirement for high maneuverability. This letter focuses on a challenging implementation in which the aircraft conducts the transitional flight at fixed altitude along a straight path. Implemented on
