This paper presents a complete quadrotor aerial docking system that utilizes both vision and magnetic field guidance to achieve high-precision docking. Visual guidance is implemented using a combination of a forward-facing camera and an upward-facing camera, which provide feedback on the local and r
This paper presents a novel, compact overactuated tricopter featuring a servo-driven twisting and tilting mechanism, preventing the adverse effects of internal force contradiction during flight. Each arm’s vectored thrust is provided by a single motor, with the twisting and tilting angles controlled
This letter presents a novel tilt-rotor octocopter that can generate tiltable thrust without the need for servo-driven mechanisms. The octocopter's eight rotors are divided into pairs and each pair is mounted on an arm, which is connected to the airframe through passive hinges. Each pair is also equ
This letter presents a novel control allocation compensator for a tilt-rotor octocopter using passive hinges, aimed at enhancing attitude control performance by accounting for the dynamic characteristics of the actuators. The introduction of a passive hinging mechanism results in a slower tilt angle
