Agile Fall Recovery for Quadrotors with Bidirectional Thrust via Reinforcement Learning
Anke Zhao, Yuhang Zhong, Kenghou Hoi +5
Autonomous fall recovery is a critical capability for quadrotors operating in real-world environments, where collisions or failures may leave the vehicle resting on the ground in a…
A Precise Real-Time Force-Aware Grasping System for Robust Aerial Manipulation
Kenghou Hoi, Yuze Wu, Annan Ding +4
Aerial manipulation requires force-aware capabilities to enable safe and effective grasping and physical interaction. Previous works often rely on heavy, expensive force sensors un…
Shape-Adaptive Planning and Control for a Deformable Quadrotor
Yuze Wu, Zhichao Han, Xuankang Wu +4
Drones have become essential in various applications, but conventional quadrotors face limitations in confined spaces and complex tasks. Deformable drones, which can adapt their sh…
Safe and Agile Transportation of Cable-Suspended Payload via Multiple Aerial Robots
Yongchao Wang, Junjie Wang, Xiaobin Zhou +3
Transporting a heavy payload using multiple aerial robots (MARs) is an efficient manner to extend the load capacity of a single aerial robot. However, existing schemes for the mult…
