内容摘要:
As robots increasingly operate beyond structured industrial settings and physically interact with humans and complex environments, ensuring both safety and task performance becomes a fundamental challenge. In many real-world applications, the properties of the environment, such as geometry, dynamics, and stiffness, may be uncertain or even completely unknown, while unexpected disturbances and unpredictable movements can further complicate physical interaction. Therefore, to achieve robust task performance while maintaining safety, robots are required to continuously adapt their interaction behavior in response to changing and uncertain contact conditions.
