And creating a new form out of that dough requires multiple steps and the use of different tools.
With this knowledge, the system reasons how to manage the skills to complete the entire task.
“When a human does a long-horizon task, we are not writing down all the details.

A surprising amount of mathematics goes into creating pizza dough, Zidaritz said.
The dough can be described using algebraic or parametric surfaces.
“Things can get difficult here because these differential equations have high computational complexity.

Working with a deformable object like dough is more complex than handling a rigid one.
But recent advances in robotics could lead to great things for pizza lovers, Reches said.
Food handling, assembly, cooking, preparation, and packaging often change shape while being handled by robots.
