Claim 5:
6. A method comprising:
detecting an articulated object in an environment, the articulated object including a first portion and a second portion;
inputting first state data associated with the first portion of the articulated object into a model at a first time;
determining, by the model and based at least in part on the first state data, a relationship between the first portion and the second portion of the articulated object;
receiving, as an output from the model and based at least in part on the relationship, a predicted state of the second portion of the articulated object at a second time after the first time, the predicted state of the second portion being determined independent of the model receiving second state data for the second portion after the first time; and
controlling a vehicle in the environment based at least in part on predicted state of the articulated object.
