Actually flipping it is still well beyond the state of the art in robotics... but maybe it’s important to avoid “the superhuman human fallacy” of attributing competence to e.g. me that humans don’t possess

It’s interesting. A specific pancake-flipping robot would likely be possible. A generalized robot capable of dealing with a large class of such tasks would likely be intractable. Humans seems to learn a semi-generalization around prototypes based on limited induction.

Did you ever read the qualitative physics debate papers? One of my favorites

I’ll take a look! That was published just as I was leaving the field. I was pretty close to several of the major participants, though, and informally involved although I didn’t publish anything.
