Full-Body Collision Detection and Reaction with Omnidirectional Mobile Platforms: A Step Towards Safe Human-Robot Interaction

Drivetrain torque sensing and model-based estimation infer collision force and location on an omnidirectional base. Admittance control is evaluated with a calibrated dummy and proof-of-concept contact experiments. Results depend on platform dynamics and tested impact conditions; further injury and system validation remain necessary.
