This work proposes a fault tolerant aerial manipulator based on a standard hexarotor vehicle, which is able to maintain independent control of torque and vertical thrust in case of motor failure by adequately changing the manipulator configuration and therefore modifying the position of the system’s
A formulation based on a team of unmanned aerial vehicles operating as a fully articulated multi-camera jib crane is proposed for the application of aerial cinematography. An optimization-based controller commands the formation to follow an artistic trajectory defined by the director of photography,
We present a tracking controller for mobile multi-robot systems based on dual quaternion pose representations applied to formations of robots in a leader-follower configuration, by using a cluster-space state approach. The proposed controller improves system performance with respect to previous work
Tilted rotors in multirotor vehicles have shown to be useful for different practical reasons. For instance, increasing yaw maneuverability or enabling full position and attitude control of hexarotor vehicles. It has also been proven that a hexagon-shaped multirotor is capable of complete attitude an…
