AErial RObots with the sense of Touch

Get ready for a revolution in drone technology! Aerial robots, commonly known as "drones," will be no longer just for surveillance and monitoring. Imagine if these drones could touch and manipulate their environment! With the help of nature, we might have discovered a solution to the problem of contact-based mishaps. It's time to introduce the sense of touch to drones. Our exploratory project AEROTouch aims at a breakthrough technology that will enable drones to perform tasks like assembly and construction. We will investigate haptic-based control methods will allow drones to work in real-world environments. Say goodbye to crashes and hello to a future where drones can handle physical work !
