During operation, aerial manipulation systems are affected by various disturbances. Among them is a gravitational torque caused by the weight of the robotic arm. Common propeller-based actuation is ineffective against such disturbances because of possible overheating and high power consumption. To overcome this issue, in this paper we propose a winch-based actuation for the crane-stationed cable-s...
