Forceful manipulation with micro air vehicles

Dario Floreano, Stefano Mintchev, Matthew Alfonso Estrada

Micro air vehicles (MAVs) are finding use across an expanding range of applications. However, when interacting with the environment, they are limited by the maximum thrust they can produce. Here, we describe FlyCroTugs, a class of robots that adds to the m ...
