Mission confiée
Short abstract :Researchers are trying to make aerial robots perform physical work for new applications like construction, inspection, maintenance, etc. Current methodologies show promising results, but they are limited to very simple tasks only performed in lab environments. In this Thesis we want to GO beyond this limited scenario. By the investigation of new sensors-based control methods, we want to make aerial manipulators able to perform much complex tasks using onboard sensors only, especially considering manipulation of articulated objects.Description :current investigations and applications are still limited to very simple interaction tasks, involving limited contact behaviors with static and rigid surfaces, and more- over often performed in known/controlled and structured environments (i.e., in ideal lab conditions). Most achieved tasks belong to the family known as push & slide paradigm, which consists in simply touching a wall at different locations with a single point contact end- effector while controlling the interaction force [1, 2]. Moreover, most works performed such a task in indoor controlled environments where the robot position is measured with accurate motion capture systems (MOCAPs) and the environment is perfectly known [3].Thisproject aims at pioneering this still mostly unexplored domain, pushing further the boundaries of Aerial Physical Interaction (APhI). In contrast to the current state of the art, our goal is to enhance aerial robotic physical interaction capabilities of highly dynamical aerial manipulators (AMs) by considering almost unexplored directions :
- Manipulations tasks of articulated and dynamic objects;
- Real scenarios requiring the use of onboard sensors only.

The project will focus on the design of sensor-based control algorithms to make aerial robots much more precise, robust and safe while performing physical interaction tasks involving articulated objects, in real environments. As a final demonstrator we want to show an aerial robot equipped with an articulated arm capable to open a door with onboard sensors only.
Principales activités

Theproject will address the following points :
- Reactive manipulation planner : Develop a reactive manipulation planner which makes the robot able to perform complex manipulation tasks while quickly reacting to external disturbances and unexpected events (like wind or loss of contact). For this we will rely on fast re-planning concepts similar to MPC methods and Model Predictive Path-Integral Control (MPPI) [4].
- Sensors-based manipulation planner : Integrate a sensing framework such that the system will rely on onboard sensors only. We also want to formally consider the constraints imposed by the sensing framework in the motion planning problem.
- Robust manipulation planner : Improve the manipulation planner planner such that IT generates motions that are intrinsically robust to model uncertainties. For this we will rely on the concept of sensitivity, as well as on deep reinforcement learning methods...
- Experimental validation : All previous tasks will BE validated with real experiments. As a final demonstrator we want to show an aerial robot equipped with an articulated arm capable to manipulate articulated objects, e.g., open a door, using onboard sensors only.
