PARSEC (Payload Anchoring Robotic System for the Exploration of Cliffs) is an autonomy-equipped aerial manipulator that can deploy self-anchoring payloads on rocky vertical surfaces. It consists of a hexacopter and a two Degrees of Freedom (2 DoF) mass balancing manipulator, which can autonomously deploy a self-anchoring payload from its custom end-effector. The payload anchors itself via an actua...
