Summary

EmbodiedSkills tests prerequisites before execution and verifies outcomes afterward through one stable interface.

The shared interface connects high-level selection, bounded vision-language-action execution, post-action verification and recovery while recording structured trajectories. Task-adapted low-level policies averaged 86.20% success across 50 RoboTwin 2.0 tasks and 97.40% across LIBERO, but only 12.5% on four memory-dependent tasks. The gap separates executor performance from the harder closed-loop agent problem.
