About

Jelmer Goerres is a leading researcher in aerial robotics, specializing in the design and control of fully actuated multirotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). His seminal work, "Fully Actuated Multirotor UAVs: A Literature Review" (2020, 132 citations), has become a foundational resource for the field, systematically cataloging innovative UAV designs that surpass the limitations of conventional underactuated multirotors. Goerres’s contributions center on enabling UAVs to achieve independent control over all six degrees of freedom—position and orientation—without sacrificing maneuverability, a breakthrough critical for applications like aerial manipulation, inspection, and precision payload delivery. By synthesizing diverse aerodynamic configurations and control strategies, his review has guided researchers toward more capable, robust platforms. Beyond this highly cited paper, Goerres has advanced practical implementations of fully actuated systems, bridging theory and real-world deployment. His work has garnered significant attention from both academia and industry, inspiring new generations of drones that can operate in cluttered or dynamic environments with unprecedented agility. For students and researchers, Goerres’s research offers a clear roadmap to the frontier of UAV autonomy, where full actuation unlocks transformative possibilities in robotics.
