In this letter, we propose a whole-body control strategy for humanoid robots in multi-contact settings that enables switching between fixed and sliding contacts under active balance.

We show that, in the LPM, having the ZMP in the pendular support area is a necessary and sufficient condition for contact stability.

Here we argue that the CWC can be explicitly computed without reference to individual contact forces, and give closed-form formulae in the case of rectangular surfaces -- which is of practical importance.
