In this paper, we address the Perception– Constrained Model Predictive Control (PCMPC) and state estimation problems for quadrotors with cable suspended payloads using a single camera and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). We design a receding–horizon control strategy for cable suspended payloads directly formulated on the system manifold configuration space SE (3) ×S2. The approach considers the sy...
