RoboEval: Where Robotic Manipulation Meets Structured and Scalable Evaluation

Robotics 2026-05-06 v2 Artificial Intelligence Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition

Abstract

We introduce RoboEval, a structured evaluation framework and benchmark for robotic manipulation that augments binary success with principled behavioral and outcome metrics. Existing evaluations often collapse performance into outcome counts, masking differences in execution quality and obscuring failure structure. RoboEval provides eight bimanual tasks with systematically controlled variations, more than three thousand expert demonstrations, and a modular simulation platform for reproducible experimentation. All tasks are instrumented with standardized metrics that quantify efficiency, coordination, and safety/stability, as well as outcome measures that trace stagewise progress and localize failure modes. Through extensive experiments with state-of-the-art visuomotor policies, we validate these metrics by analyzing their stability under variation, discriminative power across policies with similar success rates, and correlation with task success.
