Abstrakt:	This paper analyzes the nonlinear Small-Time Local Controllability (STLC) of a class of underatuated aerial manipulator robots. We apply methods of Lagrangian reduction to obtain their lowest dimensional equations of motion (EOM). The symmetry-breaking potential energy terms are resolved using advected parameters, allowing full SE(3)reduction at the cost of additional advection equations. The reduced EOM highlights the shifting center of gravity due to manipulation and is readily in control-affine form, simplifying the nonlinear controllability analysis. Using Sussmann’s sufficient condition, we conclude that the aerial manipulator robots are STLC near equilibrium condition, requiring Lie bracket motions up to degree three.
