Robot-environment interactions in dynamic or unstructured settings are often degraded by impact shocks, vibrations, and uncertainties in contact geometry and mechanical properties. This paper proposes an interaction architecture that combines feedback-linearized hybrid position-force control with a passive compliant degree of freedom embedded at the end-effector. Unlike conventional hybrid position-force control, which relies mainly on active feedback, force sensing, and gain tuning, the proposed architecture uses a physical spring-damper interface to store and dissipate impact energy at the contact point before high-frequency shocks propagate to the actuated joints and force-control loop. The approach is evaluated in MATLAB/Simulink on a 2-DOF planar manipulator with three end-effector configurations: rigid, spring-only, and spring-damper. Results under fixed and time-varying interaction conditions show that the spring-damper configuration provides stronger attenuation of contact-induced oscillations, lower force and velocity error variance, and smoother joint-torque response. Representative reductions include 36.5% in fixed-environment tangential force-error standard deviation, 25.4% in variable-environment normal force-error standard deviation, and 41.1% in variable-environment normal velocity-error standard deviation.
