Concept Physical experiments

Pivotgeist

Rehearse the move before you lift.

Pivotgeist concept mockup planning a ghost path to move an object through a doorway.
Concept mockup
Suggested setup
One depth-capable or scanned object, a measured doorway and corner, and a lightweight object to move.

The idea

Scan a bulky object and a doorway, then search for a collision-free position and rotation to guide a ghost move around the corner.

How it works

  1. Scan the object, doorway, and corner to estimate their geometry.
  2. Search candidate positions and rotations for a path with clearance for the object, hands, and body.
  3. Show a ghost movement guide while keeping the result distinct from a lifting or structural safety assessment.

AI’s role: Identify the object and route request; measured geometry and a motion-planning search compute candidate positions with clearance margins.

First demonstration

Plan and test a lightweight awkward object through a measured doorway and around a mock corner; compare the ghost path with the physical move.

What to solve next

How much extra clearance is needed for hands and a moving body, beyond the scanned object geometry?
