Abstract
An apparatus and method for detecting a collision of an aerial vehicle and recovery from the collision is disclosed. An apparatus for use in an aerial vehicle includes an arm, a flexible member and a sensing system. A processor is configured to receive a collision signal after deformation of the collision-resilient robot from a collision, recover control of the collision-resilient robot after the collision, and plan a post-collision trajectory for the collision-resilient robot using a global search-based planner.
