We empirically evaluate our approach on multiple different manipulation tasks and show its ability to generalize to large variance in object size, shape and geometry.

Our work is motivated by the intuition that many complex manipulation tasks, with multiple objects, can be simplified by focusing on less complex pairwise object relations.

Manipulation tasks can often be decomposed into multiple subtasks performed in parallel, e. g., sliding an object to a goal pose while maintaining contact with a table.
