contents We introduce the PenduMAV, an exactly actuated (6-input) omnidirectional multirotor that structurally eliminates internal forces at equilibria. The vehicle features one actively-tilting propeller and three propellers mounted on passive pendulum links via universal joints. This architecture achieves full 6D wrench generation while avoiding the structural and energetic costs of input redundancy and internal forces. After deriving the full multibody dynamics, we demonstrate that a forced equilibrium exists for every main platform pose. To asymptotically stabilize the closed-loop system, we design a coordinate-invariant nonlinear controller based on dynamic feedback linearization and backstepping, utilizing the left-trivialized error on SE(3). System stability is formally guaranteed through Lyapunov analysis of the zero dynamics. Finally, Gazebo simulations (videos available at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4N8pJgvqASQX6AWEpg3NCZ6QdGBPfbXq) validate the approach, showcasing fully decoupled attitude and translational tracking under parametric uncertainty and actuator noise.
