Summary

H2RBench standardizes four manipulation tasks and human-video comparisons.

H2RBench provides a shared real-to-simulation protocol for comparing ways to train robots from human video. It includes four manipulation tasks and evaluates representative transfer methods under common settings, finding that methods benefit differently from extra human demonstrations. The benchmark is designed to make those comparisons less confounded by task and supervision differences; it does not establish a single winning method for all robots.
