Interesting article, but you’ll notice he adjusts his grip around 0”12 because if he had kept just shaking and gently pulling they’d still have knotted. Similarly, the initial grip is already biased a certain way. That human intuition about the physical system isn’t really captured in the algorithm. I’d be curious what rate of success a machine that truly just “shakes and pulls” would have in untangling headphones.
