Self-assembling Modular Aerial Robot for Versatile Aerial Tasks
Junichiro Sugihara, Masaki Kitagawa, Jinjie Li +4
Multirotor aerial robots excel at maneuvering in three-dimensional space, and recent advances enable nimble navigation in cluttered and confined environments, especially for small…
Learning Agile and Robust Omnidirectional Aerial Motion on Overactuated Tiltable-Quadrotors
Wentao Zhang, Zhaoqi Ma, Jinjie Li +6
Tilt-rotor aerial robots enable omnidirectional maneuvering through thrust vectoring, but introduce significant control challenges due to the strong coupling between joint and roto…
Hierarchical Language Models for Semantic Navigation and Manipulation in an Aerial-Ground Robotic System
Haokun Liu, Zhaoqi Ma, Yunong Li +4
Heterogeneous multirobot systems show great potential in complex tasks requiring coordinated hybrid cooperation. However, existing methods that rely on static or task-specific mode…
Flexible Morphing Aerial Robot with Inflatable Structure for Perching-based Human-Robot Interaction
Ayano Miyamichi, Moju Zhao, Kazuki Sugihara +5
Birds in nature perform perching not only for rest but also for interaction with human such as the relationship with falconers. Recently, researchers achieve perching-capable aeria…
Adaptive Perching and Grasping by Aerial Robot with Light-weight and High Grip-force Tendon-driven Three-fingered Hand using Single Actuator
Hisaaki Iida, Junichiro Sugihara, Kazuki Sugihara +4
In previous research, various types of aerial robots equipped with perching mechanisms have been developed to extend operational time. However, most existing perching methods adopt…
