It presents aerial robotic manipulators with dual arms and multi-directional thrusters. It deals with the control systems, including the control of the interaction forces and the compliance, the teleoperation, which uses passivity to tackle the trade- off between stability and performance, perception methods for localization, mapping and inspection, and planning methods, including a new control-aware approach for aerial manipulation. Finally, it describes a novel industrial platform with multi- directional thrusters and a new arm design to increase the robustness in industrial contact inspections. The lessons learned in the application to outdoor aerial manipulation for inspection and maintenance are pointed out.}, attachments = {https://homepages.laas.fr/afranchi/robotics/sites/default/files/2018m-OllHerFraAntKonSanVigSanTruBalAndRod-preprint_3.pdf}, author = {Anibal Ollero and Guillermo Heredia and Antonio Franchi and Gianluca Antonelli and Konstantin Kondak and Alberto Sanfeliu and Antidio Viguria and Jose R.
