| contents | We introduce a novel approach for manipulating articulated objects which are visually ambiguous, such doors which are symmetric or which are heavily occluded. These ambiguities can cause uncertainty over different possible articulation modes: for instance, when the articulation direction (e.g. push, pull, slide) or location (e.g. left side, right side) of a fully closed door are uncertain, or when distinguishing features like the plane of the door are occluded due to the viewing angle. To tackle these challenges, we propose a history-aware diffusion network that can model multi-modal distributions over articulation modes for articulated objects; our method further uses observation history to distinguish between modes and make stable predictions under occlusions. Experiments and analysis demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-art performance on articulated object manipulation and dramatically improves performance for articulated objects containing visual ambiguities.
