Hardware Design for Dynamic Aerial Manipulation

ongoing work, with Jack Campanella and Vijay Kumar

In ongoing work, we are developing an aerial manipulator suitable for dynamic aerial interaction tasks, actuating the arm via a differential transmission with powerful brushless motors located on the vehicle base.
Custom electronics interface all sensors and actuators directly with an onboard Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 running real-time Ubuntu and ROS 2, using the ros2_control framework.
