UAV-Manipulator system, in which a robotic arm with N-DOFs (N=1,2, 3,…n) is attached to the unmanned aerial vehicle UAV system with 6-DOFs. Recently, UAVs systems are getting remarkable attention from researchers due to their daily involvement in many applications including both sectors: military and civilian. The UAV-Manipulator flying system will add more significance features which result in expanding the applications to include such as, package handling, infrastructure inspection, assembling, maintenance, repair, contingency operations, irrigation monitoring, Palm pollination, and delivering medical logistics. UAV-Manipulator flying system is classified as multibody dynamics systems, with high nonlinearity, and coupled dynamics. The scope of this research project will cover the theoretical background, simulation tests, and experimental validation for the flying robotic arm system.
