How to Swoop and Grasp Like a Bird With a Passive Claw for a High-Speed Grasping
2022
IEEE/ASME transactions on mechatronics
There is a growing interest in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) grasping, perching, and interacting with their surroundings by means of claws, arms, hooks, and other appendages. While multirotor vehicles can slowly lower onto a target object and grasp it, winged UAVs require a minimum speed to remain airborne and cannot hover. In this article, we describe a novel avian-inspired grasping mechanism that allows winged UAVs to grasp an object while flying over it. We have developed a high-speed,
