Collision detection and external force estimation for robot manipulators using a composite momentum observer by Benaoumeur Ibari, Mourad Hebali, Baghdadi Rezali, Menaouer Bennaoum

“…The collision detection and estimation of external forces for robot manipulators are essential to ensure compliance and safety in the interaction between the robot and the environment or humans. The focus of this paper was to design a hybrid approach for collision detection between robots and their environment, and further to estimate external forces acting on a robot manipulator without the need for additional sensors. …”
