As of end of 2025, we have identified the following major DOM research directions :
- Representation of deformables
- Simulation of deformables
- Perception of deformables
- Learning strategies for DOM
- Planning for DOM
- End-effectors, grippers, hands and other special hardware for DOM
- Benchmarking of deformables
We have made brief overviews of each of these fields which can serve as the starting point into the field of DOM.
