Successful aerial manipulation largely depends on how effectively a controller can tackle the coupling dynamic forces between the aerial vehicle and the manipulator. However, this control problem has remained largely unsolved as the existing control approaches either require precise knowledge of the aerial vehicle/manipulator inertial couplings, or neglect the state-dependent uncertainties especially arising during the interaction phase. This work proposes an adaptive control solution to overcome this long standing control challenge without any a priori knowledge of the coupling dynamic terms. Additionally, in contrast to the existing adaptive control solutions, the proposed control framework is modular, that is, it allows independent tuning of the adaptive gains for the vehicle position sub-dynamics, the vehicle attitude sub-dynamics, and the manipulator sub-dynamics. Stability of the closed loop under the proposed scheme is derived analytically, and real-time experiments validate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme over the state-of-the-art approaches.
