Controllable pitch propellers adjust blade angle instead of engine speed, letting ships change thrust, direction, and handling instantly. This explains the physics, advantages, and tradeoffs compared ...

Abstract: Aerial manipulation is a growing field of research, and multirotors with attached arm manipulator have shown practical utility in contact-based inspection. However, theses coupled platforms ...

Abstract: Two-dimensional multilinked structures can benefit aerial robots in both maneuvering and manipulation because of their deformation ability. However, certain types of singular forms must be ...
