This thesis proposes a new concept of aerial manipulation robot named Flying Gripper that is intended to perform grasping, manipulating, and transporting of large objects autonomously. The Flying Gripper robot is composed of four quadrotors, four self-adaptive fingers and a body structure. The main contributions of these works are: (1) an original mechanical concept using multiple quadrotors to obtain full manipulability in SE(3) and taking advantage of their yaw rotations to actuate a self-adaptive and intrinsically safe grasping mechanism; (2) a wrench capability analysis method taking into account the equality and inequality constraints imposed by actuation limits, mechanical stops and equilibrium relations; (3) a model predictive contro...
