Load transportation by quadrotors and similar aircrafts is a topic of great interest to the robotics community nowadays, most likely due to logistic gains for deliveries of commercial cargo. Aiming at being the first reading for novice researchers and graduate students, this survey highlights meaningful research works of several groups worldwide, considering two basic approaches, namely grasped and cable-suspended load transportation. Different control techniques and maneuver strategies are analyzed, and their benefits and drawbacks are discussed. Moreover, experimental validation was a key aspect to the highlighted works, thus, links to the videos showing the experimental results are provided for each work.

如今，四旋翼飞机和类似飞机的负载运输已成为机器人界非常感兴趣的话题，这很可能是由于商业货物交付的物流收益所致。该调查旨在作为新手研究人员和研究生的一读，重点介绍了全球数个小组的有意义的研究工作，其中考虑了两种基本方法，即抓紧和电缆悬挂的负载运输。分析了不同的控制技术和操纵策略，并讨论了它们的优缺点。此外，实验验证是重点作品的关键方面，因此，为每个作品都提供了显示实验结果的视频链接。
