Abstract
This paper investigates methods that leverage physical contact between a robot's structure and its environment to enhance task performance, with a primary emphasis on improving precision. Two main approaches are examined: solving the inverse kinematics problem and employing quadratic programming, which offers computational efficiency by utilizing forward kinematics. Additionally, geometrical methods are explored to simplify robot assembly and reduce the complexity of control calculations. These approaches are implemented on a physical robotic platform and evaluated in real-time applications to assess their effectiveness. Through experimental evaluation, this study aims to understand how environmental contact can be utilized to enhance performance across various conditions, offering valuable insights for practical applications in robotics.
