In recent decades, aerial robots especially small UAVs and drones have witnessed
tremendous improvements in terms of their structure, working methodology, flying features …

Load transportation by quadrotors and similar aircrafts is a topic of great interest to the
robotics community nowadays, most likely due to logistic gains for deliveries of commercial …

The recent advances in state estimation, perception, and navigation algorithms have
significantly contributed to the ubiquitous use of quadrotors for inspection, map**, and …

Extending the maneuverability of multirotors promises to yield a considerable increase in
their scope of applications, such as carrying out more challenging inspection tasks and …

This paper presents a novel paradigm for physical interactive tasks in aerial robotics
allowing reliability to be increased and weight and costs to be reduced compared with state …

We propose a novel aerial manipulation platform, an omnidirectional aerial robot, that is
capable of omnidirectional wrench generation with opportunistically distributed/aligned …

In this letter, we introduce a novel transformable aerial robot called DRAGON, which is a
dual-rotor-embedded multilink robot with the ability of multi-degree-of-freedom (DoF) aerial …

This paper presents the design, control, and experimental validation of a novel fully-actuated
aerial robot for physically interactive tasks, named Tilt-Hex. We show how the Tilt-Hex, a …

Quadrotors with large thrust-to-weight ratios are able to track aggressive trajectories with
sharp turns and high accelerations. In this letter, we develop a search-based trajectory …

We present a new handheld haptic device, Thor's Hammer, which uses propeller propulsion
to generate ungrounded, 3-DOF force feedback. Thor's Hammer has six motors and …
