Cooperative Aerial Manipulation

Overview

Cooperative aerial manipulation involves multiple UAVs working together to grasp, transport, or manipulate objects that a single UAV cannot handle alone. This requires tight coordination in both formation geometry and force application, presenting challenges in distributed control, geometric guidance, and real-time constraint satisfaction.

My research in this area combines formation control principles with geometric guidance laws to enable coordinated multi-UAV manipulation. The work addresses load sharing, cable-suspended transport, and cooperative grasping scenarios.

Key Contributions

• Multi-UAV formation control strategies for cooperative load transport.

• Geometric guidance principles applied to cooperative manipulation tasks.

• Distributed coordination algorithms for cable-suspended payload transport.
