Impedance control of mobile robot with shell-shaped force sensor

This study deals with impedance control based on a shell-shaped force sensor. Impedance control is accomplished at any points on the whole body of the robot due to the whole-body force sensing mechanism. Furthermore, it is possible to realize variable impedance different by location. Experimental results verify the validity of the study.
