▼ Drones or Unmanned
Aerial Manipulators have been used in the construction industry to collect visual data in form of images, videos, or to map surveys, and visually inspect the structures. However, if equipped with a robotic arm, they attain the capability of touching and interacting with the environment to effectively function as an Unmanned
Aerial Manipulator (UAM).
UAMs have researched for various applications such as sensor installation, touch-based sensor inspections, door opening, and closing, and pick up and drop, etc. However, there is a lack of study for their opportunities and challenges in the construction industry. This research focuses on understanding the opportunities and challenges associated with the application of UAMs in the construction industry.

Decentralized cooperative manipulation and consensus through object sensing: Applied to the aerial towing problem.

▼ With the decrease in sensor and actuator costs decentralized control strategies have become increasingly attractive, aiming to use multiple simpler robots for achieving a global objective. The problem of reaching the global objective generally results in a consensus problem requiring communication amongst the agents. The cooperative
manipulation problem, where a payload is manipulated using multiple robots, poses an attractive alternative: By using the payload's motion as the means of communication, the agents can reach consensus without using explicit communication. The advantage being that no additional bandwidth is required as the number of participating agents increases and all to all communication is effectively achieved. Whereas previous works considered only the translation dynamics this thesis work considers the use of the full rigid body motion as a means of communication, such that the agents reach consensus on the desired wrench and the payload is stabilized at any desired configuration. As a possible application the towing of a payload by multiple UAV via cables is considered. This brings the additional challenge of underactuation from the perspective of each agent, since only forces can be used to control the full payload's motion. The result is a decentralized nonlinear control law for the forces applied to a payload such that consensus is reached amongst the agents, the leader's control action is amplified and the payload is stabilized at any desired configuration. Proofs are constructed via Lyapunov arguments and the applicability of the control design to the
aerial towing problem is validated in simulation.

▼ Mobile
manipulation is a hot area of study in robotics as it unites the two classes of robots: locomotors and manipulators. An emerging niche in the field of mobile
manipulation is
aerial mobile
manipulation. Although there has been a fair amount of study of free-flying satellites with graspers, the more recent trend has been to outfit UAVs with graspers to assist various
manipulation tasks. While this recent work has yielded impressive results, it is hampered by a lack of appropriate testbeds for
aerial mobile
manipulation, similar to the state of ground-based mobile
manipulation a decade ago. Typical helicopters or quadrotors cannot instantaneously resist or apply an arbitrary force in the plane perpendicular to the rotor axis, which makes them inadequate for complex mobile
manipulation tasks. Based on the concept of force closure (a term from the dexterous
manipulation community), this thesis introduces the new type of dexterous, 6-DoF UAV which provides the unique capability of being able to resist any applied wrench, or generalized force-torque. In this thesis, we describe the importance of force closure for mobile
manipulation, explain why it is lacking in current UAV platforms, and describe how our hexrotor provides this important capability as well as exhibiting holonomic behavior.

▼ This dissertation investigated the human-robot interaction (HRI) for the Mission Specialist role in a telemanipulating unmanned
aerial system (UAS). The emergence of commercial unmanned
aerial vehicle (UAV) platforms transformed the civil and environmental engineering industries through applications such as surveying, remote infrastructure inspection, and construction monitoring, which normally use UAVs for visual inspection only. Recent developments, however, suggest that performing physical interactions in dynamic environments will be important tasks for future UAS, particularly in applications such as environmental sampling and infrastructure testing. In all domains, the availability of a Mission Specialist to monitor the interaction and intervene when necessary is essential for successful deployments. Additionally, manual operation is the default mode for safety reasons; therefore, understanding Mission Specialist HRI is important for all small telemanipulating UAS in civil engineering, regardless of system autonomy and application.
A 5
subject exploratory study and a 36
subject experimental study were conducted to evaluate variations of a dedicated, mobile Mission Specialist interface for
aerial telemanipulation from a small UAV. The Shared Roles Model was used to model the UAS human-robot team, and the Mission Specialist and Pilot roles were informed by the current state of practice for manipulating UAVs. Three interface camera view designs were tested using a within-subjects design, which included an egocentric view (perspective from the manipulator), exocentric view (perspective from the UAV), and mixed egocentric-exocentric view. The experimental trials required Mission Specialist participants to complete a series of tasks with physical, visual, and verbal requirements.
Results from these studies found that subjects who preferred the exocentric condition performed tasks 50% faster when using their preferred interface; however, interface preferences did not affect performance for participants who preferred the mixed condition. This result led to a second finding that participants who preferred the exocentric condition were distracted by the egocentric view during the mixed condition, likely caused by cognitive tunneling, and the data suggest tradeoffs between performance improvements and attentional costs when adding information in the form of multiple views to the Mission Specialist interface. Additionally, based on this empirical evaluation of multiple camera views, the exocentric view was recommended for use in a dedicated Mission Specialist telemanipulation interface.
Contributions of this thesis include: i) conducting the first focused HRI study of
aerial telemanipulation, ii) development of an evaluative model for telemanipulation performance, iii) creation of new recommendations for
aerial telemanipulation interfacing, and iv) contribution of code, hardware designs, and system architectures to the open-source UAV community. The evaluative model provides a detailed framework, a complement to the…

▼ Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) have seen a dramatic growth in the consumer market because of their ability to provide new vantage points for aerial photography and videography. However, there is little consideration for physical interaction with the environment surrounding them. Onboard manipulators are absent, and onboard perception, if existent, is used to avoid obstacles and maintain a minimum distance from them. There are many applications, however, which would benefit greatly from aerial manipulation or flight in close proximity to structures. This work is focused on facilitating these types of close interactions between quadrotors and surrounding objects. We first explore high-speed grasping, enabling a quadrotor to quickly grasp an object while moving at a high relative velocity. Next, we discuss planning and control strategies, empowering a quadrotor to perch on vertical surfaces using a downward-facing gripper. Then, we demonstrate that such interactions can be achieved using only onboard sensors by incorporating vision-based control and vision-based planning. In particular, we show how a quadrotor can use a single camera and an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) to perch on a cylinder. Finally, we generalize our approach to consider objects in motion, and we present relative pose estimation and planning, enabling tracking of a moving sphere using only an onboard camera and IMU.

▼ This paper presents an implementation of autonomous indoor
aerial gripping using a low-cost, custom-built quadrotor. Such research extends the typical functionality of micro air vehicles (MAV) from passive observation and sensing to dynamic interaction with the environment. To achieve this, three major challenges are overcome: precise positioning, sensing and
manipulation of the object, and stabilization in the presence of disturbance due to interaction with the object. Navigation in both indoor and outdoor unstructured, Global Positioning System-denied (GPS-denied) environments is achieved using a visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithm that relies on an onboard monocular camera. A secondary camera, capable of detecting infrared light sources, is used to estimate the 3D location of the object, while an under-actuated and passively compliant manipulator is designed for effective gripping under uncertainty. The system utilizes nested ProportionalIntegral-Derivative (PID) controllers for attitude stabilization, vision-based navigation, and gripping. The quadrotor is therefore able to autonomously navigate, locate, and grasp an object, using only onboard sensors.

▼ Cette thèse aborde l’étude de véhicules aériens autonomes interagissant d’une façon active avec l’environnement, en portant une attention particulière au développement des techniques de modélisation, de conception, et de stratégies de commande appropriées pour ces systèmes. L’étude de ces systèmes étant intrinsèquement complexe et relativement récente, de nouvelles techniques sont nécessaires pour : i) mieux décrire la dynamique du véhicule aérien et ses contraintes d’actionnement ; ii) concevoir efficacement de nouveaux prototypes aériens dotés de propriétés particulières de dextérité et de résilience ; iii) garantir un contrôle stable pendant les opérations sans contact malgré les contraintes d’actionnement ; et iv) préserver la stabilité du système pendant la phase de contact avec l’environnement tout en garantissant l’accomplissement de la tâche de manipulation. Cette thèse explore de nouvelles stratégies pour surmonter, dans une certaine mesure, les problèmes de sous-actionnement des véhicules traditionnels, conçus avec les hélices orientées dans une même direction. L’objectif de cette thèse est d’enrichir les résultats théoriques préliminaires sur de nouvelles plateformes et, en outre, de contribuer au développement de systèmes robotiques aériens réels plus appropriés aux moyens de manipulation améliorés et adaptés aux tâches d’interaction physique aérienne. Cette thèse s’inscrit dans le cadre du projet européen H2020 AeroArms, dont le but est de développer des systèmes robotiques aériens dotés de capacités de manipulation avancées à appliquer dans les domaines de l’inspection et de la maintenance industrielles. Par conséquent, l’impact sur l’industrie joue ici un rôle important.629.8
This thesis addresses the study of autonomous Aerial Vehicles (AVs) actively interacting with the surrounding environment, with particular attention to the development of modeling and design techniques, and suitable control strategies for these systems. Due to the intrinsic difficulty and the novelty associated with the study of these systems, new techniques are needed to: i) better describe the aerial vehicle dynamics and its actuation limits; ii) effectively design new aerial prototypes with particular properties of dexterity and resilience; iii) guarantee a stable control during contact-less operations despite the actuation limits; and iv) preserve the system stability also during the contact phase with the environment while guaranteeing the fulfillment of the sought manipulation task. This thesis explores new strategies to overcome, to a certain extent, the under-actuation problem of classical multi-rotor platforms, conceived with the propellers aligned towards a common direction. The goal of this thesis is to contribute to a wise growth of the preliminary theoretical results on multi-directional thrust aerial vehicles laid by the state of the art and, furthermore, to the development of more suitable real aerial robotic systems with enhanced manipulation means, tailored for aerial physical interaction tasks.

▼ La manipulation aérienne a été un domaine de recherche actif ces dernières années, principalement parce que les applications actives des véhicules aériens autonomes (UAV en anglais), augmente l'employabilité de ces véhicules pour diverses applications.Le développement récent de la manipulation aérienne a trouvé des applications potentielles dans les deux domaines, militaires et civils. Les applications militaires incluent le patrouilleur des frontières, la détection des mines, la reconnaissance, etc., tandis que les applications civiles sont en matière de gestion des catastrophes, d'inspection des ponts, de construction, de livraison de matériel, de recherche et de sauvetage, etc.La recherche sur la robotique aérienne implique principalement des hélicoptères et des architectures de décollage et d'atterrissage verticales (VTOL). Le principal avantage de ces plates-formes est leur maniabilité et la capacité d'effectuer des vols stationnaires, ce qui est essentiel pour les applications. Cette thèse porte sur les avions VTOL, où l'hélicoptère à quatre rotors ou quadrirotor est principalement étudié.En ce qui concerne le problème de la manipulation aérienne, la quantité d'applications augmente, mais en même temps, la complexité de la modélisation et du contrôle d'un tel système est également plus grande. L'un des plus grands défis réside dans leur charge utile limitée. Certaines approches ont essayé de résoudre le problème en utilisant plusieurs robots pour transporter des charges utiles avec des pinces ou des câbles, où leurs effecteurs et pinces doivent être légers eux-mêmes et capables de saisir des formes complexes. Un autre défi est que la dynamique du robot est considérablement modifiée par l'ajout de charges utiles. Cependant, pour le transport de la charge utile, il est nécessaire que les robots puissent estimer l'inertie de la charge utile et s'y adapter pour améliorer les performances de suivi.Selon les antécédents et les défis sur les véhicules VTOL portant des charges utiles ou des manipulateurs, la contribution du présent travail est centrée sur la modélisation et la conception d'une loi de commande non linéaire et une analyse de stabilité formelle pour la stabilisation asymptotique d'un véhicule VTOL portant un bras manipulateur. Pour cela, un modèle général d'un quadrirotor portant un bras manipulateur est proposé. Après cela, une loi de commande presque globalement asymptotique lisse pour la stabilisation de l'attitude qui prend en compte les effets de mouvement du bras est conçue. Une fois que le problème d'attitude est résolu, il est possible de concevoir un contrôleur non linéaire globalement asymptotique pour la dynamique de position basée sur l'utilisation de somme des fonctions saturés afin de prendre en compte les limitations des actionneurs. Enfin, certaines expériences pour valider les lois de commande proposées sont effectuées.
Aerial manipulation has been an active area of research in recent years, mainly because the active tasking of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) increases the employability…

▼ We develop an adaptive decentralized control law for transporting a payload of unknown mass without explicit communication between the agents. Our controller ensures that all quadcopters and the payload asymptotically converges to a constant reference velocity. It also ensures that all of the forces applied to the payload converges to desired set-points. Desired thrusts and attitude angles are computed from the control algorithms and a low-level PD controller is implemented to track the desired commands for each quadcopter. The sum of the estimates of the unknown mass from all the agents converge to the true mass. We also employ a consensus algorithm based on connected graphs to ensure that each agent gets an equal share of the payload mass. Furthermore, we develop an orientation control algorithm that guarantees attitude stabilization of the payload. In particular, we develop time varying force set-points to enforce attitude regulation without any moment inputs from the quadcopters.

▼ Les dernières années ont vu le développement de recherches portant sur l'interaction physique entre les robots aériens et leur environnement, accompagné de l'apparition de nombreux nouveaux systèmes mécaniques et approches de régulation. La communauté centrée autour de la robotique aérienne observe actuellement un déplacement de paradigmes des approches classiques de guidage, de navigation et de régulation vers des tâches moins triviales, telle le développement de l'interaction physique entre robots aériens et leur environnement. Ceci correspond à une extension des tâches dites de manipulation, du sol vers les airs. Cette thèse contribue au domaine de la manipulation aérienne en proposant un nouveau concept appelé MAGMaS, pour " Multiple Aerial Ground Manipulator System ". Les motivations qui ont conduites à l'association de manipulateurs terrestres et aériens pour effectuer des tâches de manipulation coopérative, résident dans une volonté d'exploiter leurs particularités respectives. Les manipulateurs terrestres apportant leur importante force et les manipulateurs aériens apportant leur vaste espace de travail. La première contribution de cette thèse présente une modélisation rigoureuse des MAGMaS. Les propriétés du système ainsi que ses possibles extensions sont discutées. Les méthodes de planning, d'estimation et de régulation nécessaire à l'exploitation des MAGMaS pour des tâches de manipulation collaborative sont dérivées. Ce travail propose d'exploiter les redondances des MAGMaS grâce à un algorithme optimal d'allocation de forces entre les manipulateurs. De plus, une méthode générale d'estimation de forces pour robots aériens est introduite. Toutes les techniques et les algorithmes présentés dans cette thèse sont intégrés dans une architecture globale, utilisée à la fois pour la simulation et la validation expérimentale. Cette architecture est en outre augmentée par l'addition d'une structure de télé-présence, afin de permettre l'opération à distances des MAGMaS. L'architecture générale est validée par une démonstration de levage de barre, qui est une application représentative des potentiels usages des MAGMaS. Une autre contribution relative au développement des MAGMaS consiste en une étude exploratoire de la flexibilité dans les objets manipulés par un MAGMaS. Un modèle du phénomène vibratoire est dérivé afin de mettre en exergue ses propriétés en termes de contrôle. La dernière contribution de cette thèse consiste en une étude exploratoire sur l'usage des actionneurs à raideur variable dans les robots aériens, dotant ces systèmes d'une compliance mécanique intrinsèque et de capacité de stockage d'énergie. Les fondements théoriques sont associés à la synthèse d'un contrôleur non-linéaire. L'approche proposée est validée par le biais d'expériences reposant sur l'intégration d'un actionneur à raideur variable léger sur un robot aérien.
In recent years, the subject of physical interaction for aerial robots has been a popular research area with many new mechanical designs and control approaches being…

▼ Cette thèse se concentre sur les robots aériens autonomes qui interagissent avec l’environnement et en particulier sur la conception de nouvelles méthodes de commande et de planification de mouvement pour tels systèmes. De nos jours, les véhicules aériens autonomes sont de plus en plus utilisés dans des nombreux domaines d’application, mais ils viennent utilisés surtout comme des simples capteurs. Au vu de ça, les défis majeurs dans le domaine de l’interaction physique aérienne, est aujourd’hui d’aller au-delà de cette application limitée, et d’exploiter entièrement les capacités des robots aériens afin d’interagir avec l’environnement. Dans le but de réaliser cet objectif, cette thèse considère l’analyse d’une classe spécifique de systèmes aériens interagissant avec l’environnement : les véhicules aériens attachés avec des câbles ou des bars. Ce travail se concentre sur l’analyse formelle et minutieuse de véhicules aériens attachés, en allant du contrôle et l’évaluation d’état à la planification du mouvement. Nous avons examiné notamment la platitude différentielle du système, trouvant deux sorties plate possibles qui révèlent des nouvelles capacités de tel système pour l’interaction physiques. En plus, poussé par l’intérêt pour l’interaction physique aérienne d’A à Z, nous avons abordés des problèmes supplémentaires liés à la conception, au contrôle et à la planification du mouvement pour des manipulateurs aériens.
This thesis focuses on the study of autonomous aerial robots interacting with the surrounding environment, and in particular on the design of new control and motion planning methods for such systems. Nowadays, autonomous aerial vehicles are extensively employed in many fields of application but mostly as autonomously moving sensors. On the other hand, in the recent field of aerial physical interaction, the goal is to go beyond sensing-only applications and fully exploit the aerial robots capabilities in order to interact with the environment. With the aim of achieving this goal, this thesis considers the analysis of a particular class of aerial robots interacting with the environment: tethered aerial vehicles. This work focuses on the thorough formal analysis of tethered aerial vehicles ranging from control and state estimation to motion planning. In particular, the differential flatness property of the system is investigated, finding two possible flat outputs that reveal new capabilities of such system for the physical interaction. The theoretical results were finally employed to solve the challenging problem of landing and takeoff on/from a sloped surface. In addition, moved by the interest on aerial physical interaction from A to Z, we addressed supplementary problems related to the design, control and motion planning for aerial manipulators.

▼ The rapid development in the field of Unmanned
Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is driven by new applications in agriculture, logistics, inspection and smart manufacturing. The future keys in these domains are the abilities to autonomously interact with the environment and with other robotic systems. This thesis is providing control engineering solutions to contribute to these key capabilities.
The first step of this thesis is to develop an understanding of the dynamic behavior of UAVs. For this purpose, dynamic and kinematic models are presented to describe a UAV's motion. This includes a kinematic model which is suitable for off-the-shelf UAVs and combines full 360° heading operation with a low computational complexity. The presented models are subsequently used to develop a nonlinear model predictive control NMPC strategy. In this context, the performance of several NMPC solvers and inequality constraint handling techniques is evaluated. The real-time capability and NMPC performance are validated with real AR.Drone 2.0 and DJI M100 quadrotors. This includes collision avoidance and advanced tracking scenarios. The design work-flow for the related control objectives and constraints is presented accordingly. As a next step, this UAV NMPC strategy is extended for a UAV with attached robotic arm. For this purpose, the forward kinematics of the robotic arm are developed and combined with the kinematic model of the UAV. The resulting NMPC strategy is validated in a grasping scenario with a real
aerial manipulator. The final step of this thesis is the NMPC of cooperating UAVs. The computational complexity of such scenarios conflicts directly with the fast UAV dynamics. In addition, control objectives and system topologies can dynamically change. To address these challenges, this thesis presents the DENMPC software framework. DENMPC provides a computationally efficient central NMPC strategy that allows changing the control scenario at runtime. This is finally stated in the control of a real cooperative
aerial manipulation scenario.

▼ This work considers an aerial robot system composed of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and a rigid manipulator, to be employed in mobile manipulation tasks. The strategy adopted for accomplishing the aerial manipulation is a decomposition of the previous system in two decoupled subsystems: one concerning the center of mass of the aerial robot; and another concerning the manipulator's orientation. Two Lyapunov-based controllers are developed, using a back stepping procedure, for solving the trajectory tracking problems related to the two subsystems. In the controller design, three inputs are assumed available: a translational acceleration along a body direction of the UAV; an angular velocity vector of this body rotation; and, finally, a torque at the spherical, or revolute, joint connecting the UAV and the manipulator. The first two inputs are generated by the same controller in order to drive the center of mass on a desired trajectory; while a second controller drives, through the third input, the manipulator's orientation to track a desired orientation. Formal stability proofs are provided that guarantee asymptotic trajectory tracking. Finally, the proposed control strategy is experimentally tested and validated.
Subjects/Keywords: Mobile Manipulation; Aerial Robots; Quadrotor; Backstepping; Lyapunov-based Control.

▼ In this work a novel dual-functioning rotorcraft undercarriage is developed. The design is a reconfigurable delta robot which allows for transformation between Adaptive Landing Gear for vertical take-off and landing and 3DOF
Aerial Manipulation mode. To reconfigure between operation modes without reaching singularities, a guideline to find a singularity-free geometry is presented. An adaptive landing control was developed and validated on a test-stand. For the 3DOF
manipulation of the delta-structure, a third-order smooth trajectory was presented and integrated. The prototype, also depicted in the accompanying video, is then presented in free flight experiments demonstrating the advantages of the dual-functioning system.
