Research questionHow can wheeled-legged robots infer task-relevant contact and disturbances without force sensors?Contact-rich manipulation requires recognizing when contact begins, how loads change, and whether forces help or disrupt the task. Visual action policies lack direct physical awareness, while stabilization alone does not identify the role of an interaction.

Latest papersRecent research connected to this question, newest first.FWBC-VLA: Force-Aware Whole-Body Compensation for Contact-Rich Loco-ManipulationThe source combines residual-torque contact estimation with proprioceptive and Jacobian-derived force estimates for wheeled-legged loco-manipulation. Its evidence comes from real-world wiping and door-opening experiments and the associated dataset, so it does not establish behavior across other robots or tasks.research paper · Sep 4, 2026
