Impact Intensity Estimation of a Quadruped Robot without Using a Force Sensor

Understand

Estimating the impact intensity is one of the significant tasks of the legged robot.

• Accurate feedback of the impact may support the robot to plan a suitable and efficient trajectory to adapt to unknown complex terrains.
• Ordinarily, this task is performed by a force sensor in the robot's foot.
• In this letter, an impact intensity estimation without using a force sensor is proposed.
