FLOAT Drone for Physical Interaction: Lateral Airflow Reduction, Wrench Modeling, and Adaptive Control
Junxiao Lin, Kehan Zhou, Shuhang Ji, Yimin Peng, Shen Wang, Jialiang Hou, et al.
Aerial physical interaction represents a promising direction for next-generation unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), but it requires an aerial platform that can exert contact forces while maintaining stable flight. For close-proximity tasks, this translates into three coupled design…
