SAM: cable-Suspended Aerial Manipulator

SAM: cable-Suspended Aerial Manipulator
A novel cable-Suspended Aerial Manipulator SAM is presented in this video. In previous research of flying robots group, robotic manipulator was attached directly to the middle-scale autonomous helicopter. Such configuration imposes restrictions on the aerial manipulation due to the risk of collision between obstacles and long helicopter blades. Therefore, in cooperation with CNRS-LAAS new system was developed in order to overcome this issue. The SAM is universal solution, that can be hanged to the any aerial carrier in order to perform manipulation tasks. Further details about the platform can be found in the following paper: “Development of SAM: cable-Suspended Aerial Manipulator” by Yuri S. Sarkisov, Min Jun Kim, Davide Bicego, Dzmitry Tsetserukou, Christian Ott, Antonio Franchi, and Konstantin Kondak.
