Conclusions and Future Directions

Abstract

This Chapter presents conclusions of the book and future directions of aerial robotic manipulation. The conclusions are related to the development of multi-rotors and helicopters equipped with robotic arms with applications both in indoor and outdoor environments. Future directions are new control, perception and planning methods and related technologies. It is mentioned the landing or perching for manipulation when important accuracy or force interactions are required. Finally, a bioinspired alternative using flapping wings that are folded for manipulation is mentioned.
