In recent years, an increasing number of research works have been focusing on the manipulation by aerial robots. Previous works using aerial robots with robotic arms have two problems: underactuation and external disturbances. We propose the fully-actuated control method and motion strategy using contact with the environment to solve these problems, along with the mechanical approach required. Fir...
