More than a Million Ways to Be Pushed: A High-Fidelity Experimental Dataset of Planar Pushing

Kuan-Ting Yu, Maria Bauza, Nima Fazeli +1

Pushing is a motion primitive useful to handle objects that are too large, too heavy, or too cluttered to be grasped. It is at the core of much of robotic manipulation, in particul…
