Beomyeol Yu and Kanishke Gamagedara demonstrated a quadrotor transporting a suspended payload. FDCL shared their video, “Geometric Control and Experimental Validation for a Quadrotor UAV Transporting a Payload.”

The experiment connects geometric control methods with the coupled motion of an aerial vehicle and its load. See the original announcement for the video.
