(EN) There is disclosed a computer-implemented method of determining a collision between an object and a robot, comprising monitoring one or more articular parts of said robot by measuring the parameters associated with the real displacements of said one or more articular parts; comparing said measured parameters with the expected parameters associated with the corresponding commanded displacements; and determining the probability of a collision with an object. Described developments comprise the exclusion of system failures, the identification of the collided object by computer vision or by communicating with said object, the execution of one or more actions such as a safety mode, the identification of systematic discrepancies in performed comparisons, the grouping of articular parts belonging to a same articular chain, and the mutual surveillance of robots. The use of capacitive sensors, bumper sensors and magnetic rotary encoders is disclosed.
