AEROARMS project summary
The H2020 AEROARMS project started in October 2015 and since then has produced a huge amount of publicationes, experiments with aerial robotics and appearances in the media. This video shows the whole trajectory of the project sin it started until its end in July 2019 with a last technical demonstration in Germany.

Interview to Anibal Ollero in a spanish tv programme
This Tuesday June 18th the AEROARMS coordinator Anibal Ollero talked with the spanish tv programme crew La Tarde en 24h, which is daily broadcasted in the 24 Hours Channel.
Ollero talked in this tv programme about the drones features, the efficiency and how the aerial robots can improve the inspection and maintenance tasks as well as save lives in this case.
AEROARMS appears in Real Economy (Euronews)
The tv series from Euronews Real Economy has included the AEROARMS innovations as a tool to boost the investment through its artificial intelligence and aerial robotics skills. AEROARMS is currently in its third and last period, and has showed how drones can help us in our labour life.

AEROARMS in the French TV
Aeroarms has been disseminated in several French TV channels. A video report with interviews and video segments of demonstrations, performed last February 7 at LAAS-CNRS in Toulouse, has been broadcasted
Dual Arm Aerial Manipulator
Octo-rotor UAV equipped with two 5-DOF, lightweight and human size robotic arms specifically designed for aerial manipulation. Preliminary flight test have been conducted in outdoors for evaluating the influence of arms motion over the stability of the aerial platform.
Lightweight Compliant Arm with Compliant Finger Module
Low weight robotic arm with compliant joints designed for aerial manipulation with multi-rotor UAV. Identification, contact force control and soft collision detection and reaction experiments are conducted in fixed base test-bench.
