VABAR: A Variational Automation Benchmark for Agentic Robotics
Overview
This paper introduces VABAR, a simulation-based benchmark designed to evaluate agentic robotics systems on six manipulation tasks involving variations in object shape and pose. The benchmark is built using open-source tools, features standardized task variations, difficulty tiers, success metrics, and a library of 33 generalizable skills with human-authored reference solutions. Initial baseline evaluations are provided using the Graph-as-Policy (GaP) harness and Isaac Lab Arena.
