Researchers have developed a new approach called Interaction-Aware Whole-Body Control (IO-WBC) to improve the ability of robots to transport objects, particularly in close-contact scenarios. This bio-inspired system acts like an artificial cerebellum, translating high-level commands into stable, physically consistent movements. By separating upper-body interaction control from lower-body balance, the system can maintain stability even when precise velocity tracking is not possible, as demonstrated in simulations and experiments with varying loads and external disturbances.
