In recent years, there has been a remarkable surge in the development and research of
tethered aerial systems, thus reflecting a growing interest in their diverse applications. Long …

Cable-Driven Parallel Robots (CDPRs) use cables arranged in a parallel fashion to
manipulate an end-effector (EE). They are functionally similar to several cranes that …

The problem of carrying a bar-shaped payload suspended by flexible cables attached to two
quadrotors is analyzed in this work. The aerial vehicles and the load are dealt with as a …

The movable anchor points make reconfigurable cable-driven parallel robots (RCDPRs)
advantageous over conventional cable-driven parallel robots with fixed anchor points, but …

A Cable-Driven Parallel Robot (CDPR) with Mobile Bases (MBs) can modify its geometric
architecture and is suitable for manipulation tasks in constrained environments. In …

In this research, the design of general hybrid thruster cable-driven parallel robots (TCDPRs)
is studied. TCDPRs combine the actuation advantages of both cables and thrusters (rotors) …

The aerial manipulator is a new type of aerial robot with active operation capability, which is
composed of a rotary-wing drone and an actuator. Although aerial manipulation has greatly …

This paper discusses the development of position control for a rigid body payload carried by
a team of quadrotors in the presence of external disturbance and uncertainty in model …

In this article, thrusters embedded on a cable-driven parallel robot (CDPR) platform are
proposed to improve the CDPR dynamics and trajectory tracking performance. On-board …

A control strategy for enabling a team of unmanned aircraft systems (UASs) to cooperatively
transport a cable-suspended rigid-bodypayload of unknown characteristics is proposed …
