DOI: 10.1109/access.2022.3194932
Abstract: In this article, we address the problem of aerial transport of a suspended payload by two vehicles with minimal sensing and computational requirements. Herein, the leader-follower paradigm is adopted, allowing the follower robot to estimate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/access.2023.3265957
Abstract: Designing a controller for the cooperative transport of a payload using quadcopter-type unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is a very challenging task in control theory because these vehicles are underactuated mechanical systems. This paper presents a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1242/jeb.206821
Abstract: ABSTRACT Some ant species cooperatively transport a wide range of extremely large, heavy food objects of various shapes and materials. While previous studies have examined how object mass and size affect the recruitment of additional… read more here.
