Pouring

A manipulation skill requiring the robot to tilt a container to transfer its contents (liquid, granules) into a target vessel. Pouring is challenging because it involves fluid dynamics, precise tilt angle control, and visual feedback (monitoring fill level). It is a common benchmark for everyday manipulation and requires different strategies for different viscosities and container shapes.
