PhysCaP Agent Uses Physics-Informed Exploration for Robotics
August 20, 2026
PhysCaP augments code-as-policy frameworks with a training-free module to estimate object mass and stiffness via proprioception. A dual-agent design consisting of a Planner and a Prioritizer manages the trade-off between exploration costs and information gain during manipulation tasks.
