Abstract

The objective of this survey paper is to review the state-of-the-art related to quadrotor- and multirotor- based cooperative aerial manipulation, with a focus on comparing and evaluating prototype systems that have been implemented and tested in real-time in diverse applications. The survey aims at providing a useful guide for the design and development of the next generation of prototypes based on preferred characteristics, functionality, operability and application domain.
