Abstract

This chapter is a general introduction of the book. First the motivation of aerial robotic manipulation is presented. Next a very short introduction of unmanned aerial vehicles and aerial robotics is included. The next section is devoted to introduce unmanned aerial vehicles physically interacting with the environment with the environment. Finally, aerial robotic manipulation while flying is introduced.
