Establishing stable wall contact with Multirotor Platforms

Finished: 2016-07-11

BSc assignment

The goal of this project is to design a mechanism to establish stable wallcontact with an ARW to enable more precise manipulation tasks with the ARW's manipulator.

To achieve this, first different approaches have to be explored. Based on the results of this study, a mechanism has to be designed and integrated with an available ARW. The mechanism has to be experimentally evaluated to demonstrate it's effectiveness.

One of the main challenges in this assignment is the limited payload of the multirotor, which restricts the weight of the mechanism. The mechanism should restrict the manipulator's freedom of movement as least as possible.
