This research proposes a passively driven perching mechanism designed to land not only on flat surface but also on various shaped objects, such as bar, plate, and spherical object, without the use of additional actuators. The perching mechanism consists of three under actuated fingers, and utilizes
Inspection and maintenance work at heights car-ries significant risks and is time consuming for human workers. Therefore, aerial manipulators are expected to replace these tasks. This paper presents a multirotor UAV equipped with a single horizontal thruster. This minimal configuration en-ables phys…
Pruning work at high altitude is a dangerous work with a high risk of accidents for human workers. In this research, we propose a multirotor flying robot that is equipped with a wire-suspended device and performs pruning task. We use a saber saw as a cutting tool. If the cutting tool is installed on…
