Origami Manipulator for an Omnidirectional MAV
Aerial interaction is a booming area of interest, coupling the agility of MAVs with the dexterity of manipulation robots. New challenges emerge when new actuated components are added to the system - such as multi-DOF manipulator arms - and the system dynamics become more complex. Origami manipulator
The project scope includes evaluation of foldable structures with respect to manipulation requirements, and detailed mechanical design of a 3-DOF origami manipulator, as well as construction and evaluation of a prototype. A final evaluation would demonstrate the precision and dexterity of the manipulator mounted on an omnidirectional MAV.
