Collaborative Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
Collaborative UAVs, or drones, consist of a novel aerial robotic team that will possess the capability to autonomously conduct infrastructure inspection and maintenance tasks, while additionally providing intuitive and user-friendly interfaces to human-operators. The collaborative UAVs consist of multiple heterogeneous collaborative aerial robotic workers, a new class of UAVs, equipped with dexterous manipulators, novel physical interaction and co-manipulation control strategies, perception systems and planning intelligence.
