Source overview

Visual information regulates a virtual impedance between the manipulator and objects before physical contact occurs. The authors evaluate the method in simulation and with a direct-drive robot.

Use and review

Author-copy abstract and bibliography checked. Precontact control depends on vision and models; detection reliability and injury prevention need separate validation.
