This paper details the simulation and experimental validation of an autonomous perching and take-off method for a multirotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) using a suction cup perching mechanism on vertical surfaces. The suction cup interaction with different surface types is characterized with experimental tests to accurately model the perching manoeuvre. The resulting model is used to develop a r...
