Huan Nguyen,Tung Dang,Kostas Alexis,Huan Nguyen,Tung Dang,Kostas Alexis

This paper overviews the system design, modeling and control of the Aerial Robotic Chain. This new design corresponds to a reconfigurable robotic system of systems consisting of multilinked micro aerial vehicles that presents the ability to cross narrow sections, morph its shape, ferry significant payloads, offer the potential of distributed sensing and processing, and enable system extendability....
