Aerial manipulation describes a process that includes physical interaction between an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) and its environment. We aim to apply aerial manipulation to sample leaves and small branches from rain forest trees. Current approaches to aerial manipulation involve extended periods of UAS-environment interaction, during which forces and moments can lead to a loss in attitude or p...
