Development of the aerial manipulator based on the multi-rotor UAV with tilt propeller mechanism

The raerial manipulator is the UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) which is equipped the robot arm used for working during flight. In this paper, we describe that the development of an aerial manipulator which based on the multi-copter UAV with tilt propeller mechanism. In our research, the aerial manipulator combining the UAV which can control both position and attitude independently and one robot hand has been developing. In order to reduce weight, the robot hand is also serve as landing gear during landing. Additionally, the flight experiment result is showed in this paper.
