N2 - The applications of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) are typically related to information exchanges that are useful in the context of surveillance, mapping, target tracking, and similar tasks presented in other chapters of this handbook such as forest fires, environment monitoring, measurements in volcanic environments, and maritime applications. However, other applications of interest can involve physical interactions between UAS and environmental objects as well as between several UAS. This chapter presents the state of the art in two branches of this novel research area: aerial manipulation and load transportation. In addition, the particular case of using autonomous helicopters equipped with robotic arms for aerial manipulation is detailed. Finally, recent field experiments of joint load transportation with multiple autonomous helicopters are presented.
