Aerial Interaction with Tactile Sensing

2024 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA)
While autonomous Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have grown rapidly, most applications only focus on passive visual tasks. Aerial interaction aims to execute tasks involving physical interactions, which offers a way to assist humans in high-risk, high-altitude operations, thereby reducing cost, time, and potential hazards.
