Aerial Grasping with Soft Aerial Vehicle Using Disturbance Observer-Based Model Predictive Control
Hiu Ching Cheung, Bailun Jiang, Yang Hu +3
Aerial grasping, particularly soft aerial grasping, holds significant promise for drone delivery and harvesting tasks. However, controlling UAV dynamics during aerial grasping pres…
Towards Non-Robocentric Dynamic Landing of Quadrotor UAVs
Li-Yu Lo, Boyang Li, Chih-Yung Wen +1
In this work, we propose a dynamic landing solution without the need for onboard exteroceptive sensors and an expensive computation unit, where all localization and control modules…
Hybrid Aerodynamics-Based Model Predictive Control for a Tail-Sitter UAV
Bailun Jiang, Boyang Li, Ching-Wei Chang +1
It is challenging to model and control a tail-sitter unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) because its blended wing body generates complicated nonlinear aerodynamic effects, such as wing l…
A Modular Pneumatic Soft Gripper Design for Aerial Grasping and Landing
Hiu Ching Cheung, Ching-Wei Chang, Bailun Jiang +2
Aerial robots have garnered significant attention due to their potential applications in various industries, such as inspection, search and rescue, and drone delivery. Successful m…
