This article presents an integrated vision-based guiding system for aerial manipulation. More specifically, a 4 DoF planar dexterous manipulator, with a stereo camera attached on the end-effector, is endowed to a multirotor aerial platform enabling active manipulation capabilities. The proposed novel approach combines a visual processing scheme for object detection and tracking, as well as a manipulator positioning for allowing the aerial platform to approach the surface of interaction efficiently. In the developed scheme, the object detection is based on correlation filters to track the target robustly, while the depth information, from the stereo camera on board the manipulator, is used to extract the centroid of the manipulated object, compute its relative configuration with respect to the UAV and align the end-effector properly with the grasping point. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is demonstrated in multiple experimental trials and simulations, highlighting it's applicability towards autonomous aerial manipulation. ; Collaborative Aerial Robotic Workers, AEROWORKS
