| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this research is to establish a technology of aerial manipulation of a deformable linear object (DLO) by multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). To this goal, we carried out mainly two tasks. The first task is to design and develop a quad rotor UAV with variable pitch propellers in order to obtain a capability of more dynamic flight compared to a conventional quad rotor UAV. The second task is to develop a flight strategy for obstacle avoidance of a DLO transferred by multi-UAVs. To achieve the obstracle avoidance, we derived a mathmatical model of the deformable linear object, namely catenary curve whose origin is set on the one edge of the DLO on the assumption that the UAV flies in quasi-static conditions. Based on the derived model, we constructed the obstacle avoidance strategy under the conditions of some environmental constraints such as altitude limitation etc. The validation of the developed strategy is verified by flight experiments.
