Collaborative robotics is one of the main drivers of the fourth industrial revolution, where robots and humans cooperate in a shared workspace. Such robots are distinguished from the traditional robots by several features that, if tuned correctly, ensure safe physical interaction. However, interacti
In the context of mobile manipulator teleoperation, intuitive control interfaces are fundamental not only to reduce the operator's workload, but also to improve the situational awareness during the task execution. In the case of object exploration tasks, different operator control units have been pr
We present a method for estimating the contact event between sensor-free active subtracks, named flippers, of an articulated tracked vehicle (ATV) and the terrain surface. The main idea is to consider both the moving base link and unexpected collisions dynamics as disturbances of the flipper dynamic…
