Strain-Parameterized Coupled Dynamics and Dual-Camera Visual Servoing for Aerial Continuum Manipulators

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2603.23333v1 Announce Type: cross Tendon-driven aerial continuum manipulators (TD-ACMs) combine the maneuverability of uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) with the compliance of lightweight continuum robots (CRs). Existing coupled dynamic modeling approaches for TD-ACMs incur high computational costs and do not explicitly account for aerial platform underactuation. To address these limitations, this paper presents a generalized dynamic formulation of a coupled TD-ACM with an underactuated base.
