Abstract

With the development of material science, control technology, and other fields, significant progress has been made in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and robotic arm technologies. As a cutting-edge field where the two technologies converge, the UAV robotic arm system has become a current research hotspot. By integrating the aerial maneuverability of UAVs with the physical interaction capabilities of robotic arms, this system has significantly expanded the applications of UAVs in infrastructure inspection, logistics transportation, and other fields. This article reviews the current core technologies of the system, such as robotic arm technology and perception technology, and specifically analyzes their applications in production. At the same time, this article also deeply analyzes the technical challenges currently faced by the system and proposes future development directions, such as the integration of intelligent perception and control, to promote the further development of this technology. This work aims to provide a theoretical reference and technical foundation for future research and practical deployment of UAV–robotic arm systems.
