  • 适合研究空地协同、仿生飞行器与复杂环境交互的团队

飞行机器人正从远程观测转向与物体、表面、结构、负载及周围流场的物理交互。本文指出,空中操控不能简单视为将传统机械臂安装在飞行平台上。由于飞行器依赖持续与周围介质进行动量和能量交换以保持悬停,支撑、移动、稳定与任务导向交互本质上相互耦合。基于操控即通过物理交互实现环境意图调控的广义视角,本文提出一种介质感知的空中操控解释:交互可通过直接接触、周围流体或二者共同介导。综述生物与机器人实例,归纳出交互模式谱系与能力阶梯,并发展一种执行-几何视角,其中冗余产生任务等效纤维;沿这些纤维的内部运动可实现能量与主动准备度、气动敏捷性及被动介质耦合之间的权衡。该视角阐明了空中操控的挑战本质,解释了为何生物飞行动物仍比机器人系统更全面,并指明未来平台如何在施加力的同时塑造介质对自身的反作用。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Aerial robots are increasingly moving from remote observation toward physical interaction with objects, surfaces, structures, loads, and surrounding flows. This review argues that aerial manipulation cannot be understood as classical manipulation simply mounted on a flying base. Because flying agents remain aloft through continuous momentum and energy exchange with the surrounding medium, support, locomotion, stabilization, and task-directed interaction are intrinsically coupled. Building on broad views of manipulation as intentional environmental regulation through physical interaction, we propose a medium-aware interpretation of aerial manipulation in which interaction may be mediated by contact, by the surrounding fluid, or by both. The review organizes biological and robotic examples into a repertoire of interaction modes and a capability ladder, then develops an actuation-geometric viewpoint in which redundancy induces task-equivalent fibers. Internal motion along these fibers can trade energy for active readiness, aerodynamic promptness, and passive medium coupling. This perspective clarifies why aerial manipulation is difficult, why biological flyers remain broader than robotic systems, and how future platforms may command forces while also shaping how the medium acts back on them.
