Bioinspired Flap**-Wing Micro Aerial Vehicles (FWMAVs) have emerged over the last two decades as a promising new type of robot. Their high thrustto-weight ratio, versatility, safety …
Small aerial robots are limited to short mission times because aerodynamic and energy conversion efficiency diminish with scale. One way to extend mission times is to perch, as …
We present a novel gripper design for autonomous aerial transport of ferrous objects with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The proposed design uses permanent magnets for …
The ability to grasp objects broadens the application range of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) by allowing interactions with the environment. The difficulty in performing a midair …
