Airborne Manipulator with Twisting and Tilting Rotors for Omnidirectional Thrust Vectoring

In this project, we introduce a flying vehicle that overcomes the
inherent maneuverability limitations of traditional multirotors. Full
directional authority is enabled on each individual thrust vector by
introducing two additional degrees of freedom (twist and tilt) to each
rotor. The resulting system possesses omnidirectional thrust-vectoring
capabilities, fully decouples the position and attitude dynamics, and
minimizes wasted thrust over its entire configuration space.
