This paper presents an aerial robotic platform for rapid remote elevated overhead-perching drill operations for wood health inspection. The platform features an innovative passive prismatic-gripper mechanism affixed to the aerial robot’s top, facilitating overhead drilling. The primary aim is to enhance the safety and efficiency of elevated wood structure inspection using the resistography method,...
