OPENTECHNICAL PUBLICATION OT-2026-000001449 Robotic manipulator and systems and methods of control Published: 2026-09-15T19:05:54.398013Z Permanent URL: https://opentechnical.org/p/OT-2026-000001449 Categories: Robotics & Automation > Robot Architectures ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ABSTRACT Systems and methods for improving dexterous and extrinsic manipulation of robotic manipulators in the presence of uncertain force readings from tactile sensors include a force estimator, a force planner, and a controller. These components employ algorithms that determine a range of safe operating configurations of the manipulator (e.g., positions and/or joint angles of fingers in a robotic hand) that result in stable manipulation of objects, even with the uncertainty of the tactile measurements. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ OpenTechnical publication OT-2026-000001449 Published 2026-09-15T19:05:54.398013Z https://opentechnical.org/p/OT-2026-000001449
