Impedance control

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not appear to meet WP:GNG. Only source for the article is the single paper which appears to have invented the theory/approach. My search of the web turned up no other instances of the concept except in that original paper, and a single novel paper does not warrant a Wikipedia article absent some broader impact on the field or society.

 * Withdrawn by Nominator - it looks like it may have a bigger impact than I thought and it seems like the article creator is willing to improve it. Wieno (talk) 16:22, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

I'm a PhD student in robotics and I also study controls. Impedance control is a vital method for dynamic manipulation and has established control theory. That said, I have been frustrated with the lack of open source documentation on it so I made this article as a start in the right direction. I'd expand it except I'm not (yet) an expert in this area. There are plenty of advanced articles on Google Scholar discussing it: http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=impedance+control&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp= — Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.82.13.119 (talk) 08:11, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

I think this might be a good article to cite: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=1087854&tag=1 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.82.13.119 (talk) 08:22, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
