Summary

LIBERO-RECOVER adds more than 1,000 scenarios spanning retries, adaptation, object repair and environmental recovery.

Existing manipulation benchmarks can approach 100-percent success from clean initial states. LIBERO-RECOVER instead collects real execution failures and tests four levels of recovery plus spatial, structural, interaction and topological reasoning. It is a proposed benchmark, not evidence that evaluated systems already recover reliably.

Why it matters

LIBERO-RECOVER adds more than 1,000 scenarios spanning retries, adaptation, object repair and environmental recovery.

Limits and context

  • It is a proposed benchmark, not evidence that evaluated systems already recover reliably.

Key claims

  1. LIBERO-RECOVER adds more than 1,000 scenarios spanning retries, adaptation, object repair and environmental recovery.
