Intelligent and bioinspired aerial manipulators

This keynote talk will introduce different operational modes of aerial manipulators, by including manipulation while flying, holding and perching. Next will present different perception and planning functionalities for aerial manipulators. The third part of the talk is devoted to bioinspired aerial systems with flapping, gliding, perching and manipulation capabilities. In the keynote talk I will present results and experiments of the AERIAL-CORE H2020 project and of the GRIFFIN Advanced Grant of the European Research Council.
