Abstract in brief

  • The text discusses the development of ATMO, a robot that can smoothly transition between flying and ground movement, solving the challenges of groundaerial robot design and ground-vehicle interaction by transforming near the ground.
  • ATMO uses insights from aerodynamics near the ground, obtained through experiments, and employs a model-predictive controller to adapt its movements based on ground proximity and body shape, allowing for effective morphing even when actuators are near their limits.
  • Experimental tests show that ATMO can land smoothly and change body postures beyond its actuator saturation limits, thanks to the ground effect and advanced control strategies.
