Article Summary

People often learn how an unfamiliar object moves through a small exploratory push, using its response to guide their next motion. Inspired by this behavior, we study humanoids pushing carts whose mass and caster stiffness are initially unknown. Our object-centric framework closes online estimation, flow-based planning, and whole-body control into a loop, creating a tension: replacing the plan whenever the belief shifts disrupts the maneuver under way, while keeping it strands the robot on a path its evidence has ruled out. Belief-Overlap Partial Inversion (BOPI) scales revision to agreement, inverting the flow under the old belief only as far as the beliefs disagree before reconstructing under the new one. Across 18 simulated goals it lowers pooled final position and yaw error by roughly 33% and 47% against fixed-depth replanning, and on hardware it translates and turns a non-holonomic cart.
