With the growing use of wearable tactile sensor arrays, tactile sensory outcomes (TSOs) provide valuable insight into a robot’s dynamic responses to its actions. Accurately estimating a robot’s dynamic state during physical human-robot interaction (pHRI) is essential for handling real-world uncertainty. Enabling robots to adapt effectively in pHRI remains a ...
