Grasping objects using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with an onboard manipulator is far more flexible compared to ground mobile robots, since the UAV has a larger operation space. However, it still faces a great challenge, particularly when the dynamics of the UAV is not known exactly or the system is impacted by unknown external disturbances. To maintain a stable flight and grasp an object in the air precisely, a reliable control strategy is necessary. In this paper, we present a control framework based on nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) combined with an augmented dynamics model employing Gaussian processes (GP) as a nonparametric regression model. Throughout the real-world experimental results, our proposed control framework eliminates at least 38% more of the trajectory tracking error in comparison to the NMPC with the nominal dynamics model alone, and it ensures a stable and dependable flight performance to grasp an object near the ground.
