This work presents a self-supervised robotic pusher setup that can acquire forward models for pushing tabletop objects by training neural networks. The resulting models are used for multi-step path planning. An explicit world representation allows generating collision-free and feasible object trajectories that avoid local minima. Through closed-loop replanning, the system can generate sequences of pokes that move objects to specified goal poses.
