In this article, we propose a deep learning frame-work that provides a unified approach to the problem of leg contact detection in humanoid robot walking gaits. Our formulation accomplishes to accurately and robustly estimate the contact state probability for each leg (i.e., stable or slip/no contact). The proposed framework employs solely propriocep-tive sensing and although it relies on simulate...
