The aerial vehicle may further include sensing units, navigation components, and communication interfaces to transmit real-time video, audio, and telemetry data. The robotic manipulator assembly includes an articulated arm and an end-effector capable of supporting interchangeable tools for performing interaction tasks. The system enables remote assistance and intervention in environments that are hazardous, inaccessible, or require immediate response while maintaining precise and stable aerial manipulation.
