Aerial robotics general manipulation capabilities
by A. Ollero

09:00-10:00 -- Tuesday November 24, 2015 -- Room T1

ABSTRACT

The presentation deals with methods and technologies required for the development of general robotics manipulation capabilities for aerial robots. Thus, instead of devices to perform particular applications, it is intended to develop control, perception and planning functionalities for aerial robots with one or more multi-joint arms. The presentation will include results obtained in the European Projects FP7 ARCAS and preliminary results in the project H2020 AEROARMS both coordinated by the presenter.
