abstract = {This thesis presents a framework to aid in the design of a wide range of aerial manipulation systems. The framework provides an extensible architecture to develop, compare, and contrast new guidance and control methods for aerial manipulators.
Key developments include a range of novel techniques to generate and track practically feasible trajectories, recover from large disturbances, and the ability to perform complex manipulation tasks. The framework is an important step towards safe and reliable aerial manipulation.},

The name litur is short for "Liturgusidae", which, according to Wikipedia:
Liturgusidae is a family of praying mantids in the new (2019) Neotropical superfamily Acanthopoidea. A substantial number of genera, previously placed here, have recently been moved to the new or revived other families.
