Abstract
Examples are provided that describe a model free power detector. In one example, a method includes receiving, by one or more computing devices, a measurement of electrical power to a robotic device. The method also includes receiving, by the one or more computing devices, a measurement of mechanical power by the robotic device. Based on combinations of the electrical power to the robotic device being one of positive, negative, or about zero, and the mechanical power by the robotic device being one of positive, negative, or about zero, the method includes determining possible states of operation of the robotic device. The method also includes providing, by the one or more computing devices, the possible states of operation of the robotic device to a detector.
