This paper presents a novel control strategy for the compensation of the slippage effect during non-rigidly grasped object manipulation. A detailed dynamic model of the interconnected system composed of the robotic manipulator, the object and the internal forces and torques induced by the slippage effect is provided. Next, we design a model-based variable impedance control scheme, in order to achi...
