This research aims to develop a UAV with an end effector used to fix targets on a building façade. With the use of this application, the use of manual force and cranes can be eliminated. The UAV also can reach places with complicated geometry and greater heights which is difficult to be performed manually. The finite element analysis was performed before manufacturing and the flight simulation was performed using ROS. Results are still ongoing but promising.
