LIBERO-RECOVER: Beyond Task Success Towards Failure Recovery in Robotic Manipulation Models

LIBERO-RECOVER: Beyond Task Success Towards Failure Recovery in Robotic Manipulation Models

Summary

This paper introduces LIBERO-Recover, a large-scale benchmark for evaluating failure recovery in robotic manipulation models. Built upon the LIBERO framework, it collects over 1,000 real execution failure scenarios across four recovery levels: Action Retry, Action Adaptation, Object State Recovery, and Environmental Recovery. The benchmark evaluates core capabilities including spatial understanding, object structure reasoning, interaction understanding, and topological reasoning, shifting the focus from task success to robustness after failure.

Editorial context

The authors introduce LIBERO-Recover, a benchmark evaluating failure recovery capabilities in robotic manipulation models across four levels (Action Retry, Action Adaptation, Object State Recovery, Environmental Recovery), addressing the gap between high success rates on ideal benchmarks and real-world robustness.

arXiv:2609.05178v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) or World Action (WAM) models have recently demonstrated remarkable performance in robotic manipulation. On LIBERO, SOTA method have achieved nearly 100\% success rates, seemingly suggesting that the models are ready for deployment in real world. However, near perfect performance on existing benchmarks can be misleading: success under ide

Implications for data suppliers

RoboSignal interpretation and collection questions, not statements of buyer demand.

  • Confirm the required data type and collection setting with the buyer; this source does not establish a complete collection specification.
  • Compare the reported units and scope before using these quantities in a budget. Recording hours, sensor-hours and trajectories are different measures.
  • Validate demand and acceptance criteria with a buyer before scaling. Publication, popularity and a research result do not establish a purchase commitment.
