An extensible framework for nonlinear aerial manipulation

(2020) An extensible framework for nonlinear aerial manipulation. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This thesis presents a framework to aid in the design of a wide range of aerial manipulation systems. The framework provides an extensible architecture to develop, compare, and contrast new guidance and control methods for aerial manipulators.

Key developments include a range of novel techniques to generate and track practically feasible trajectories, recover from large disturbances, and the ability to perform complex manipulation tasks. The framework is an important step towards safe and reliable aerial manipulation.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
