A recent and exciting topic within the field of autonomous aerial vehicles is the interaction with the surrounding environment via in-flight manipulation, including retrieving, transport and deployment, which unveils an enormous potential vis-a-vis industrial and service applications. In this regard, the actual thesis focuses on the conception and energy-based dynamical study of a multi-link unmanned aerial system able to perform manipulation tasks. The study of the aforementioned robotic aerial system includes the control of the flying multi-link vehicle by the sliding mode control theory and the conception of Lyapunov-based controllers alongside the application of Kalman Filters for state and disturbances estimation. The last part of the thesis is devoted to the examination of time-delays effects on unmanned aerial systems. Detailed simulation results are provided to prove the effectiveness of the overall thesis proposal.
