Performance robustness of manipulator collision controller

We propose that the manipulator impact control problem be approached from a stochastic optimal control perspective. The reason is that not only is such an approach able to model uncertainties in contact environment, force sensing, as well as manipulator dynamics, the controller obtained is optimally robust in terms of performance. This result is verified by analyses and simulations.
