Concept and Rationale for Stratospheric Balloon-Based Laser Debris Removal
F. Ruiz Vincueria, M. Divoky, E. Sanchez-Laulhe +9
Laser-based deorbiting has long been proposed as a promising technique for mitigating the growing population of orbital debris, particularly decimetre-scale objects -- large enough…
A Cross-Embodiment Gripper Benchmark for Rigid-Object Manipulation in Aerial and Industrial Robotics
Marek Vagas, Martin Varga, Jaroslav Romancik +5
Robotic grippers are increasingly deployed across industrial, collaborative, and aerial platforms, where each embodiment imposes distinct mechanical, energetic, and operational con…
Integration of a Variable Stiffness Link for Long-Reach Aerial Manipulation
Manuel J. Fernandez, Alejandro Suarez, Anibal Ollero +1
This paper presents the integration of a Variable Stiffness Link (VSL) for long-reach aerial manipulation, enabling adaptable mechanical coupling between an aerial multirotor platf…
A novel concept for Titan robotic exploration based on soft morphing aerial robots
Fernando Ruiz, Begona Arrue, Anibal Ollero
This work introduces a novel approach for Titan exploration based on soft morphing aerial robots leveraging the use of flexible adaptive materials. The controlled deformation of th…
Thermally-Resilient Soft Gripper for On-Orbit Operations
Fernando Ruiz, Begona Arrue, Anibal Ollero
Research in soft manipulators has significantly enhanced object grasping capabilities, thanks to their adaptability to various shapes and sizes. Applying this technology to on-orbi…
A Comparison between Frame-based and Event-based Cameras for Flapping-Wing Robot Perception
Raul Tapia, Juan Pablo Rodríguez-Gómez, Juan Antonio Sanchez-Diaz +5
Perception systems for ornithopters face severe challenges. The harsh vibrations and abrupt movements caused during flapping are prone to produce motion blur and strong lighting co…
Experimental method for perching flapping-wing aerial robots
Raphael Zufferey, Daniel Feliu-Talegon, Saeed Rafee Nekoo +2
In this work, we present an experimental setup and guide to enable the perching of large flapping-wing robots. The combination of forward flight, limited payload, and flight oscill…
