Feedback from New Page Review process

I left the following feedback for the creator/future reviewers while reviewing this article: In the future, when translating an article into English for the English Wikipedia, please check if an article already exists at another name on the English Wikipedia. I have no idea if there is an article on the same topic on the English Wikipedia regarding this. I will ask a relevant WikiProject and get back on this one.

I have asked both WikiProject Robotics and WikiProject Physics on their opinion on whether this article is a content fork, i.e. a duplicate article on the same topic but with a different title. The central discussion is at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Physics#New article at Force control. Thank you, Fork99 (talk) 04:55, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

To not' merge, given that the Force and Impedence as the topics are distinct and the pages sufficiently well-developed to warrant separate discussion. Klbrain (talk) 09:36, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think Impedance control should be merged here. That article has been too technical for many years, they seem to cover the same topic as per the WikiProject Physics remark above, and I think this is better as the merge target as it's more plain language (although could use more inline citations).

Strictly speaking Impedance Control is neither force control nor motion control. It is rather “dynamic control” in the sense that its goal is to impose a given relationship between force and motion. In my opinion it might confuse people to have it integrated into the force control page. 37.169.97.117 (talk) 20:53, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am against, because impedance control is notable enough to have its own page. According to Bruno Siciliano, Robotics: Modelling, Planning and Control, chapter 9, "Interaction control strategies can be grouped in two categories; those performing indirect force control and those performing direct force control". Impedance control belongs to the indirect form and differs from the direct force control. When someone talks of "force control" they imply the direct force control in vast majority of time. It can still have brief a section here as it is an indirect form of controlling force, but it merits a page of more detailed information. Gufosowa (talk) 12:13, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
