This paper presents a manipulator-equipped unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) performing contact-based surface inspection. Using stereo camera information, a contact point is determined and an approach path is generated to ensure an autonomous workflow. The proposed inspection method uses an impedance co…
This letter presents a compliant exploration framework based on a collaborative robot Franka Panda that builds a 3D plant stem model. The model is built for agricultural plant treatment procedures without external sensors, as contact forces are estimated from joint torques and robot's dynamic and ki
This paper demonstrates the experimental validation of canonical peg-in-hole manipulation task using an aerial robot. The robot consists of a multirotor platform equipped with a dual arm multi degree of freedom manipulator. The paper discusses the introduced kinematic constraints which make sure the…
In this paper we present a study of a robotic system that consists of an unmanned aerial vehicle equipped with a pair of manipulator arms (MMUAV), and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs). The envisioned application scenario includes autonomous packet transportation, where MMUAV is used for picking/placi
