Shaping by Contact: Aerial In-Situ Toolmaking With a Variable-Stiffness Manipulator

Toolmaking is a hallmark of biological intelligence, enabling organisms to manipulate unstructured environments. Translating this capability to micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) is fundamentally hindered by strict payload constraints that preclude carrying multiple specialized end-effectors. Here, we propose aerial in-situ...
