Mesh Manifold based Riemannian Motion Planning for Omnidirectional Micro Aerial Vehicles
Michael Pantic, Lionel Ott, Cesar Cadena +2
This paper presents a novel on-line path planning method that enables aerial robots to interact with surfaces. We present a solution to the problem of finding trajectories that dri…
Active Interaction Force Control for Contact-Based Inspection with a Fully Actuated Aerial Vehicle
Karen Bodie, Maximilian Brunner, Michael Pantic +5
This paper presents and validates active interaction force control and planning for fully actuated and omnidirectional aerial manipulation platforms, with the goal of aerial contac…
An Efficient Sampling-based Method for Online Informative Path Planning in Unknown Environments
Lukas Schmid, Michael Pantic, Raghav Khanna +3
The ability to plan informative paths online is essential to robot autonomy. In particular, sampling-based approaches are often used as they are capable of using arbitrary informat…
An Omnidirectional Aerial Manipulation Platform for Contact-Based Inspection
Karen Bodie, Maximilian Brunner, Michael Pantic +5
This paper presents an omnidirectional aerial manipulation platform for robust and responsive interaction with unstructured environments, toward the goal of contact-based inspectio…
