DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In this talk I will present the design and control me
 thods that my group developed in the last years in order to increase the s
 tability and performance in aerial tasks involving physical contact and ma
 nipulation. In particular I will show how multi-directional thrust — when 
 properly mastered — may confer a superior level of accuracy and robustness
  to the physical task execution\, when compared to standard platforms with
  an underactuated base. Our group has been an early promoter of multi-dire
 ctional thrust aerial platforms for physical contact and manipulation. Mul
 ti-directional thrust has since then been adopted as one of the most power
 ful way to face many of the challenges of aerial physical interaction. How
 ever\, the field has still several challenges remain still to be addressed
 . I will introduce and briefly discuss some of them\, and in particular th
 ose related to the extended capabilities\, energy efficiency\, robustness\
 , and human physical interaction. Bio: Antonio Franchi (https://homepages.
 laas.fr/afranchi/robotics/) is a Full Professor in Aerial Robotics Control
  at the University of Twente (EEMCS Faculty\, RAM department)\, Enschede\,
  The Netherlands\, and an affiliated researcher at LAAS-CNRS (RIS team)\, 
 Toulouse\, France. From 2014 to 2019 he was a CNRS Permanent Researcher at
  LAAS-CNRS. From 2010 to 2013 he was a Research Scientist and then a Senio
 r Research Scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetic
 s in Germany. He received the Laurea (M.Sc.) degree (summa cum laude) in E
 lectronic Engineering and the Ph.D. degree in System Engineering (Feb. 201
 0) from Sapienza University of Rome\, Italy. He received the French HDR de
 gree (Accreditation to Supervise Research) from the National Polytechnic I
 nstitute of Toulouse in 2016. In 2009 he was a visiting scholar at the Uni
 versity of California at Santa Barbara. His main research interests lie in
  the robotics area\, with a special regard to control and estimation probl
 ems. His main areas of expertise are aerial robotics and multiple-robot sy
 stems. He published more than 150 papers in international journals\, books
 \, and conferences.  He was Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on R
 obotics a Senior Editor for IEEE ICRA\, associate editor of the IEEE Robot
 ics & Automation Magazine\, IEEE ICRA\, IEEE/RSJ IROS and the IEEE Aerospa
 ce and Electric Systems Magazine. He ideated and participated to several n
 ational and international research project\, he is currently the local coo
 rdinator of the EU H2020 Aerial-CORE project. He is the co-founder and eme
 ritus co-chair of the IEEE RAS Technical Committee on Multiple Robot Syste
 ms\, http://multirobotsystems.org/. In 2010 he was awarded with the IEEE R
 AS ICYA Best Paper Award for one of his works on Multi-robot Exploration. 
 In 2018 he was a recipient of the 2018 IEEE RAS Most Active Technical Comm
 ittee Award. One the PhD theses he supervised has been the recipient of th
 e award for the Best Robotics PhD Thesis in France in 2019.
