MorphQuad: Morphable Quadrotor for Superhuman Maneuverability, Manipulation, and Resiliency
Jose Diaz Peon Gonzalez Pacheco, J. Diaz Peon Gonzalez Pacheco, J. Xu +17
Infrastructure maintenance, contact-based inspection, and emergency response can benefit from aerial vehicles that act as a flying human hand with extreme maneuverability, manipula…
AirBender: Adaptive Transportation of Bendable Objects Using Dual UAVs
Jiawei Xu, Longsen Gao, Rafael Fierro +1
The interaction of robots with bendable objects in midair presents significant challenges in control, often resulting in performance degradation and potential crashes, especially f…
From Ellipsoids to Midair Control of Dynamic Hitches
Jiawei Xu, Subhrajit Bhattacharya, David Saldaña
The ability to manipulate and interlace cables using aerial vehicles can greatly improve aerial transportation tasks. Such interlacing cables create hitches by winding two or more…
Modular Multi-Rotors: From Quadrotors to Fully-Actuated Aerial Vehicles
Jiawei Xu, Diego S. D'Antonio, David Saldaña
Traditional aerial vehicles are constrained to perform specific tasks due to their adhoc designs. Based on modularity, we propose a versatile robot, H-ModQuad, that can adapt to di…
MochiSwarm: A testbed for robotic blimps in realistic environments
Jiawei Xu, Thong Vu, Diego S. D'Antonio +1
Testing aerial robots in tasks such as pickup-and-delivery and surveillance significantly benefits from high energy efficiency and scalability of the deployed robotic system. This…
