Abstract
This paper introduces an adaptive Incremental Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion (INDI) control methodology with guaranteed stability for a highly maneuverable unmanned aerial manipulator (UAM) designed to operate under demanding conditions, such as rapid arm movements and varying manipulated payloads. This work extends previous work on the control of aerial manipulators by addressing control effectiveness uncertainties. The stability bounds of the inertia matrix within the control effectiveness matrix are derived through a detailed eigenvalue analysis, ensuring that the eigenvalues consistently remain within a specified stability threshold. The proposed methodology ensures both stability and control responsiveness by dynamically adjusting the inertia parameters of the control effectiveness matrix within stability-guaranteeing limits. The methodology is validated through extensive simulation tests showing that the proposed adaptive INDI controller outperforms previous UAM controllers, effectively coping with disturbances caused by varying grasped payloads/masses and extended arm movements with guaranteed stability.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
