The last decade has seen significant progress in the development of robotics, spanning from algorithms, mechanics to hardware platforms. Various robotic systems, like manipulators, legged robots, unmanned aerial vehicles, and self-driving cars have been designed for search and rescue [1, 2], exploration [3, 4], package delivery [5], entertainment [6, 7], and more applications and scenarios. These robots are on the rise of demonstrating their full potential. Take drones, a type of aerial robot, as an example. The number of drones has grown by 2.83x between 2015 and 2019 based on the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) report [8]. The registered number reached 1.32 million in 2019, and the FFA expects this number will grow to 1.59 billion by 2024.
