This paper presents an enhanced observer control strategy for multirotor aerial grasping. Unlike previous approaches, which focused solely on translational dynamics, this method incorporates dual observers-one for the translational subsystem and another for the rotational dynamics. By lever-aging quaternions, the proposed control framework provides a singularity-free representation of orientation while naturally decoupling rotational and translational dynamics. This allows the system to be treated as fully actuated in both position and orientation, improving disturbance rejection and compensating for torques induced by offcenter or asymmetrically shaped objects during grasping. A passive, non-actuated gripper further enhances the drone's ability to interact with objects in real-world scenarios. Experimental validations confirm the robustness and adaptability of the proposed approach, demonstrating its effectiveness in handling dynamic variations in mass and torque while maintaining stable flight.
