Aerial manipulators are composed of an aerial multi-rotor that is equipped with a 6-DOF servo robot arm. To achieve precise position and attitude control during the arm's motion, it is critical for the system to have high performance control capabilities. However, the coupling effect between the multi-rotor UAVs' movement poses a challenge to the entire system's control capability. We have proposed a new proxy-based super twisting control approach for quadrotor UAVs that mitigates the disturbance caused by moving manipulators. This approach helps improve the stability of the aerial manipulation system when carrying out hovering or trajectory tracking tasks. The controller's effectiveness has been validated through numerical simulation and further tested in the Gazebo simulation environment.
