Estimating parameters of object dynamics, such as viscosity or internal degrees of freedom, is key in the autonomous and dexterous robotic manipulation of objects. Oftentimes, it may be challenging to accurately and efficiently estimate these object parameters due to the complex highly nonlinear...
