This brief review paper aims to discuss and show a technical analysis of latest progress in manipulator equipped Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). A manipulator can increase the robustness and adaptability of UAV, but it can also have an impact on how well it performs. The installation of a manipulator can lead to several issues, such as the UAV being unstable because of the added weight, sluggish convergence, and path planning mistakes. Therefore, this review paper shows a few latest techniques and methodologies that are adopted in order to overcome the above issues. This brief paper discusses the challenges with UAVs equipped with robotic or cable-driven manipulators along with previously contributed research work and their limitations. An extensive assessment of the limitations and their technical analysis make this brief review one of its kinds.
