Drone grasping on power lines for recharging is challenging since it requires the gripper to be lightweight, carried by a drone, and efficient for a firm grasp. A deep understanding of the power line nature and its magnetic characteristic helps ease such challenges and bring new knowledge to gripper design. In this work, a novel adaptive, lightweight, and fail-safe magnetic gripper with a rechargi...
