Abstract: A system includes a controller to provide at least one control output to an automated system in response to a control command received at a control input of the controller. The control output controls the operation of the automated system based on the control command. A signature analyzer generates the control command to the controller and receives an impedance signature related to a property of a material or object encountered by the automated system. The signature analyzer compares the impedance signature to at least one comparison signature to determine the property of the material or object. The signature analyzer adjusts the control command to the controller to control the operation of the automated system based on the determined property.
