- 用标准化硬件与统一软件客户端实现可复现的实机任务
- 分设物理技能与具身推理双赛道,覆盖底层交互与高层推理能力
- 适合研究通用机器人操作的团队,助力真实场景部署验证
灵巧操作使机器人能主动改变物理世界,是实现物理人工智能的关键。尽管硬件、感知、控制和学习技术已发展数十年,通用操作系统的进展仍因缺乏广泛采纳的标准基准而碎片化。核心挑战在于如何平衡现实世界的多样性与科学评估所需的可重复性与真实性。为此,我们提出ManipulationNet——一个全球性的真实世界机器人操作基准基础设施。该平台通过标准化硬件套件实现可复现的任务设置,并利用统一软件客户端进行分布式性能评估,实时下发任务指令并收集结果。作为持久且可扩展的基础设施,ManipulationNet将基准任务分为两个互补赛道:1)物理技能赛道,评估底层物理交互能力;2)具身推理赛道,测试高层推理与多模态理解能力。这一设计促进真实世界能力与技能的系统性连接,为通用机器人操作铺平道路。通过在大规模真实环境中实现可比的操纵研究,该基础设施为长期科学进步提供可持续评估基础,并识别出具备实际部署潜力的能力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Dexterous manipulation enables robots to purposefully alter the physical world, transforming them from passive observers into active agents in unstructured environments. This capability is the cornerstone of physical artificial intelligence. Despite decades of advances in hardware, perception, control, and learning, progress toward general manipulation systems remains fragmented due to the absence of widely adopted standard benchmarks. The central challenge lies in reconciling the variability of the real world with the reproducibility and authenticity required for rigorous scientific evaluation. To address this, we introduce ManipulationNet, a global infrastructure that hosts real-world benchmark tasks for robotic manipulation. ManipulationNet delivers reproducible task setups through standardized hardware kits, and enables distributed performance evaluation via a unified software client that delivers real-time task instructions and collects benchmarking results. As a persistent and scalable infrastructure, ManipulationNet organizes benchmark tasks into two complementary tracks: 1) the Physical Skills Track, which evaluates low-level physical interaction skills, and 2) the Embodied Reasoning Track, which tests high-level reasoning and multimodal grounding abilities. This design fosters the systematic growth of an interconnected network of real-world abilities and skills, paving the path toward general robotic manipulation. By enabling comparable manipulation research in the real world at scale, this infrastructure establishes a sustainable foundation for measuring long-term scientific progress and identifying capabilities ready for real-world deployment.
