HomeLoop: A Simulation Framework and Benchmark for Robot-IoT Coordination in Everyday Domestic Assistance and Safety

HomeLoop: A Simulation Framework and Benchmark for Robot-IoT Coordination in Everyday Domestic Assistance and Safety

Summary

This paper introduces HomeLoop, a simulation framework and benchmark built on Isaac Sim designed to evaluate robot-IoT coordination in domestic environments.

Editorial context

HomeLoop provides a simulation framework and benchmark on Isaac Sim for evaluating robot-IoT coordination in domestic settings, featuring 20 tasks across five families, 2,100 home layouts, five robot bodies, and 20 networked device types to assess VLM-driven agents under ambiguous scenarios like evolving hazards and faulty sensors.

o fulfill their potential, they need to integrate with existing smart infrastructure and reason through ambiguous scenarios: a smoke alarm may come from a pan about to ignite, a pan already on fire, a resident cooking or a faulty sensor, and each calls for a different response. To that end, we introduce HomeLoop, a simulation framework and benchmark built on Isaac Sim that combines robot bodies, networked devices and
