Systematic literature review of applications and usage potentials for the combination of unmanned aerial vehicles and mobile robot manipulators in production systems

Abstract The cooperation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Mobile Robot Manipulators (MRMs) offers enormous possibilities to modern industry. It paves the way for logistics, cooperative assembling or manipulation will provide even more flexibility autonomy today’s manufacturing processes. Currently, some systematic literature reviews exist that an overview on research fields gaps in field UAVs MRMs. However, investigation landscape combined use MRMs does not best authors’ knowledge. Therefore, this paper, a review current UAV MRM is conducted finally identify action need be addressed future harness full potential.
