Cooperation control of three UAV's for aerial rescue and aerial retrieval

摘要

In this paper two new conceptual robotic system designs, called 'aerial-retrieval' and 'aerial-rescue' are presented and demonstrated by simulation results. The unmanned air vehicles (UAV) used in this design are thrust vector controlled robotic systems. The 'aerial-retrieval' concept aims at entrapping and retrieving a (lost) floating object in the air. The second concept, 'aerial-rescue' aims at rescuing a free falling object (e.g. a person) in the air using a stretched net attached to the UAV's. Position and angular control are applied in both systems.
