arXiv:2610.34454v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper presents two controllers for a quadrotor equipped with a two-DOF robot manipulator that physically interacts with the environment. Cartesian impedance and adaptive sliding mode controllers are implemented and compared for a simple hovering task in the presence of some bounded disturbance. A full dynamic model is developed, and the two above controllers are implemented with the same initial conditions and desired position.
