About this paper

A simulated benchmark for language-conditioned spatial manipulation on low-cost robot arms reveals that hybrid LLM agents outperform learned vision-language-action policies, with ranking consistency between simulation and real hardware.

Low-cost arms such as the SO-101 have become the most common entry point to robot learning, yet no released policy performs spatially constrained, language-conditioned tasks on them out of the box, and existing SO-101 benchmarks run only on physical hardware with simple tasks and few held-out objects. We introduce SO-101 Bench, a simulated benchmark for language-conditioned spatial manipulation built on an Isaac Lab digital twin of a real SO-101 setup. It has four tasks scored as five families, 138 objects in seen, unseen-instance and unseen-class splits, 916 evaluation episodes with subsets for held-out appearances, rotate-to-fit planning and occlusion memory, and 3,629 simulated…
