On the design, modeling and control of a novel compact aerial manipulator

Description

This video presents a novel four-degree-of-freedom aerial manipulator allowing a multirotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to physically interact with the environment. The proposed design, named CARMA (Compact AeRial MAnipulator), is characterized by low disturbances on the UAV flight dynamics, extended workspace (with regard to its retracted configuration) and fast dynamics (compared to the UAV dynamics). It is shown that the selected joint position sensors, combined with the derived inverse dynamic algorithm allow to determine the wrenches exerted at the base, due to swift motions of the arm.
