An Experimental Study of Downwash Effects on a Continuum Manipulator Integrated with a Multirotor UAV
Anuraj Uthayasooriyan, Krishna Manaswi Digumarti, ernando Vanegas +1
Continuum arm aerial manipulation systems leverage soft-manipulator compliance and dexterity for tasks in confined or hazardous environments, but propeller downwash can degrade per…
U-Joint CAAMS: Experimental Evaluation of a Universal-Joint Continuum Manipulator for Aerial Manipulation
Anuraj Uthayasooriyan, Musab Alibrahim, Krishna Manaswi Digumarti +2
Continuum manipulators mounted on multi-rotor UAVs enable compliant aerial manipulation, but payloads and propeller downwash amplify out-of-plane bending and twisting that degrade…
Tilt-X: Enabling Compliant Aerial Manipulation through a Tiltable-Extensible Continuum Manipulator
Anuraj Uthayasooriyan, Krishna Manaswi Digumarti, Jack Breward +3
Aerial manipulators extend the reach and manipulation capabilities of uncrewed multirotor aerial vehicles for inspection, agriculture, sampling, and delivery. Continuum arm aerial…
