Abstract

Due to the availability of highly efficient unmanned aircraft (UA) and the advancement of the necessary technologies, the use of UA for object manipulation and cargo transport is becoming a more and more relevant research area. A reliable identification and localization of cargo and interaction objects as well as maintaining the required flight precision are essential to guarantee a successful object handling. Within this paper we demonstrate the successful application of an autonomous UA equipped with a lightweight suction gripper for object interaction. We discuss the approach used for precise localization as well as the identification and pose estimation of individual gripping objects. Concluding, the overall system performance is evaluated within an industrial-oriented use case.
