Passive Stiffness Shaping in Cable-Suspended Aerial Manipulation via Movable Compliant Anchors

Antonio Franchi, Amr Afifi
From the abstract

Cable-suspended aerial manipulation offers a lightweight architecture for cooperative transportation and physical interaction, yet the passive mechanical response perceived at the load remains insufficiently understood and systematically exploited. This work interprets aerial vehicles as movable compliant anchors and develops a gravity-aware quasi-static theory for predicting and shaping the passive Cartesian stiffness of a suspended load.
