• W2911285640 abstract "The aerial manipulation is a research field which proposes the integration of robotic manipulators in aerial platforms, typically multirotors – widely known as “drones” – or autonomous helicopters. The development of this technology is motivated by the convenience to reduce the time, cost and risk associated to the execution of certain operations or tasks in high altitude areas or difficult access workspaces. Some illustrative application examples are the detection and insulation of leaks in pipe structures in chemical plants, repairing the corrosion in the blades of wind turbines, the maintenance of power lines, or the installation and retrieval of sensor devices in polluted areas. Although nowadays it is possible to find a wide variety of commercial multirotor platforms with payloads from a few gramps up to several kilograms, and flight times around thirty minutes, the development of an aerial manipulator is still a technological challenge due to the strong requirements relative to the design of the manipulator in terms of very low weight, low inertia, dexterity, mechanical robustness and control. The main contribution of this thesis is the design, development and experimental validation of several prototypes of lightweight (<2 kg) and compliant manipulators to be integrated in multirotor platforms, including human-size dual arm systems, compliant joint arms equipped with human-like finger modules for grasping, and long reach aerial manipulators. Since it is expected that the aerial manipulator is capable to execute inspection and maintenance tasks in a similar way a human operator would do, this thesis proposes a bioinspired design approach, trying to replicate the human arm in terms of size, kinematics, mass distribution, and compliance. This last feature is actually one of the key concepts developed and exploited in this work. Introducing a flexible element such as springs or elastomers between the servos and the links extends the capabilities of the manipulator, allowing the estimation and control of the torque/force, the detection of impacts and overloads, or the localization of obstacles by contact. It also improves safety and efficiency of the manipulator, especially during the operation on flight or in grabbing situations, where the impacts and contact forces may damage the manipulator or destabilize the aerial platform. Unlike most industrial manipulators, where force-torque control is possible at control rates above 1 kHz, the servo actuators typically employed in the development of aerial manipulators present important technological limitations: no torque feedback nor control, only position (and in some models, speed) references, low update rates (<100 Hz), and communication delays. However, these devices are still the best solution due to their high torque to weight ratio, low cost, compact design, and easy assembly and integration. In order to cope with these limitations, the compliant joint arms presented here estimate and control the wrenches from the deflection of the spring-lever transmission mechanism introduced in the joints, measured at joint level with encoders or potentiometers, or in the Cartesian space employing vision sensors. Note that in the developed prototypes, the maximum joint deflection is around 25 degrees, which corresponds to a deviation in the position of the end effector around 20 cm for a human-size arm. The capabilities and functionalities of the manipulators have been evaluated in fixed base test-bench firstly, and then in outdoor flight tests, integrating the arms in different commercial hexarotor platforms. Frequency characterization, position/force/impedance control, bimanual grasping, arm teleoperation, payload mass estimation, or contact-based obstacle localization are some of the experiments presented in this thesis that validate the developed prototypes." @default.
