Abstract
A vehicle computing system may implement techniques to determine whether two objects in an environment are related as an articulated object. The techniques may include applying heuristics and algorithms to object representations (e.g., bounding boxes) to determine whether two objects are related as a single object with two portions that articulate relative to each other. The techniques may include predicting future states of the articulated object in the environment. One or more model(s) may be used to determine presence of the articulated object and/or predict motion of the articulated object in the future. Based on the presence and/or motion of the articulated object, the vehicle computing system may control operation of the vehicle.
