The transition from free motion to contact is a challenging problem in robotics, in part due to its hybrid nature. Additionally, disregarding the effects of impacts at the motion planning level often results in intractable impulsive contact…

State estimation for hybrid systems that undergo intermittent contact with their environments, such as extraplanetary robots and satellites undergoing docking operations, is difficult due to the discrete uncertainty propagation during…
