We have developed a planner that finds stable pushing plans to move an object from one place to another. A graphical user interface (GUI) makes it easy to specify problems for the push planner and to display the results of the planner. The output of the planner can be dumped to the Adept 550 robot in our lab to execute the plan in the real world.
