| Abstract: | Nowadays inspection and maintenance of Civil Infrastructure comes with many risks and costs. Especially structures that are difficult to access, such as windmills, power plants or tall chimneys, take a lot of effort to maintain. Safety measures are needed to reach these location which come with high costs and often hazardous working environments for the people working on these locations. To overcome these risks and costs the Aeroworks project is is working on an UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) that can have physical contact with its environment to perform small maintenance tasks and inspections. The AeroWorks project is a consortium of ten European universities, including The University of Twente. The University of Twente is responsi- ble for developing the aerial manipulator of the collaborative aerial robotic workers that can perform small physical maintenance tasks in above mentioned environments. |
