Placing Mugs On Pedestals With Tell Me Dave

Since Baxter is not mobile, we simulated three tables by constructing three pedestals which rest inside of Baxter’s work space.

Here is a video showing Baxter distributing three mugs on three pedestals of different heights in response to the natural language input “Distribute the mugs on the tables” :
