Cooperation control of three UAV´s for aerial rescue and aerial retrieval

In this paper two new conceptual robotic system designs, called ´aerial-retrieval´ and ´aerial-rescue´ are presented and demonstrated by simulation results. The unmanned air vehicles (UAV) used in this design are thrust vector controlled robotic systems. The ´aerial-retrieval´ concept aims at entrapping and retrieving a (lost) floating object in the air. The second concept, ´aerial-rescue´ aims at rescuing a free falling object (e.g. a person) in the air using a stretched net attached to the UAV´s. Position and angular control are applied in both systems.
