PhysCaP enables robots to physically probe hidden properties like mass and stiffness

PhysCaP introduces physics-informed exploration to Code-as-Policy agents. While most vision-language-action policies rely on passive observation, many manipulation tasks depend on hidden physical properties like mass or stiffness. PhysCaP allows robots to physically probe the environment before deciding on actions.
