Structural Layout Design and Manufacture of a New Aerial Robot

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper describes an unconventional structural layout design of aerial robot. A double-layered # shaped configuration is proposed to meet the requirements of decoupling control of eight-rotor aerial robot. Based on the modular design concept, structure design for manufacturing is combined with aerodynamic analysis to improve the level of integration of design and manufacturing. Results of manufacture and flight test show that our design on aerial robot is effective.
