Estimating the inertial properties of an object can make robotic manipulations more efficient, especially in extreme environments. This paper presents a novel method of estimating the 2D inertial parameters of an object, by having a robot applying a push on it. We draw inspiration from previous analyses on quasi-static pushing mechanics, and introduce a data-driven model that can accurately repres...
