In the process of landing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) on an unmanned surface vehicle (USV), a manipulator can be applied to help the UAV land safely and accurately. However, it is a challenge to control the manipulator on a disturbed USV due to joint velocity constraints and bandwidth limitations. To solve this problem, a predictive control framework is proposed in this paper. We leverage a fi...
