Abstract

This paper presents a hybrid aerial manipulation system that decouples a compliant grasping interface from a rigid anchoring load path. The system combines a coaxial eye-in-hand camera, visual servoing, and robust flight control to enable grasping of everyday objects, perching on heterogeneous pole geometries, and stop-sign perching through a graspable adapter.
