Learning to Throw: Agile and Accurate Cable-Suspended Payload Delivery with a Quadrotor

arXiv:2606.27603v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Quadrotors offer the agility needed to rapidly transport suspended payloads during time-critical applications, including search-and-rescue and medical delivery. While suspended-payload transport and traversal for these missions are well studied, the highly dynamic targeted release of the payload remains comparatively underexplored. State-of-the-art approaches typically rely on model-based trajectory optimization and tracking; however, these methods...
