Abstract
This paper presents an adaptive haptic control for a one degree-of-freedom master-slave teleoperated device. The aim is to reduce excessive collision forces that occur when there are significant time delays in master-slave communication. The control design also allows the operator to move the slave in free space and in a soft medium. Previous approaches to haptic teleoperation typically design for either movement in a medium or constrained contact with a solid surface; then, it is up to the operator to avoid collisions or precisely anticipate collisions. The proposed control runs on the slave side inner loop, with no time delay, and tracks commanded forces from the outer loop. A Lyapunov-stable backstepping-with-tuning-functions design provides a way to ensure smooth forces are applied that guarantee stability in the presence of unmodeled environmental stiffness and viscosity. Experiments using a Phantom hand controller interacting with simulated environment show that collision forces are substantially reduced compared to two other control methods. In collision-free operation, the performance is comparable to other methods.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
