UMI-Bench 1.0: An Open and Reproducible Real-World Benchmark for Tabletop Robotic Manipulation with UMI Data

Generalist robot manipulation policies have advanced rapidly, yet existing benchmarks remain limited in systematically evaluating their capabilities. Many rely on simple, short-horizon, or skill-narrow tasks with limited capability coverage, and are often conducted only in simulation or only in the real world. Simulation enables scalable feedback but misses physical deployment challenges, while real-world evaluation is costly, time-consuming, and difficult to reproduce. We introduce RoboDojo, a unified sim-and-real benchmark for comprehensive evaluation of generalist robot manipulation policies. RoboDojo includes 42 simulation tasks and 18 real-world tasks covering diverse and complementary manipulation capabilities. The simulation benchmark evaluates five dimensions: generalization, memory, precision, long-horizon execution, and open-vocabulary instruction following, while the real-world benchmark exposes policies to challenging physical-world deployment conditions. RoboDojo supports scalable evaluation through heterogeneous parallel simulation in Isaac Sim and provides RoboDojo-RealEval, a reproducible real-world evaluation system with remote cloud access, standardized hardware, scene reset, evaluation protocol, and deployment interface. Together with XPolicyLab, policies can be integrated once and evaluated across simulation and real-world settings with minimal adaptation. We integrate 30 policies into XPolicyLab and evaluate them on RoboDojo, establishing a public leaderboard and systematic analysis of current policy performance. The website is available at http://robodojo-benchmark.com/.

Learning deployable manipulation policies is bottlenecked by the scarcity of data that is both high-fidelity and scalable. Real-robot teleoperation is accurate but costly to scale; robot-free UMI capture scales readily, and current practice uses the resulting data mainly for pre-training, adding a small real-robot "anchor" at post-training. We ask whether raising the fidelity of robot-free UMI data, rather than shrinking the real-robot fraction, can remove that anchor. We present HiFi-UMI, a portable UMI data-production system co-designed for trajectory accuracy, inter-gripper relative pose, synchronization, and field of view: head-mounted offline stereo-inertial SLAM, native rather than reconstructed relative pose, a shared microsecond GPIO trigger, and two wide-angle cameras per hand covering ~200 degrees. It reaches 3 mm workspace-local end-effector accuracy without external tracking infrastructure. Using this corpus, we demonstrate zero-robot post-training: a policy post-trained solely on HiFi-UMI demonstrations deploys directly on a real robot and matches in-domain teleoperation across three backbones spanning the vision-language-action and world-action-model families, with success-rate differences of -2.5, +3.1, and -0.6 percentage points on StarVLA-QwenPI, OpenPI-pi_0.5, and LingBot-VA; the strongest policy reaches 85% on a precision insertion task, even though the teleoperation baseline is collected in the evaluation scene and no HiFi-UMI trajectory is. Pre-training on 4,000 hours from the same corpus lowers action error on ten unseen tasks by 41% and, on StarVLA-QwenPI, raises real-robot success by a further 18.1 percentage points. We open-source HiFi-UMI-2K, 2,000 hours of microsecond-synchronized, ultra-wide-FoV demonstrations, each automatically reconstructed and validated through simulation replay, as a large-scale, high-fidelity resource for the robot-learning community.

Robotic manipulation policies often degrade over extended horizons, yet existing benchmarks provide limited insight into why such failures occur. Most prior benchmarks are either simulation-based or report aggregate success, making it difficult to disentangle the distinct sources of temporal difficulty in real-world execution. We introduce LongBench, a real-world benchmark for evaluating long-horizon manipulation. LongBench consists of over 1,000 real-world episodes, covering two complementary regimes: Context-Independent (fully observable) and Context-Dependent (ambiguity-driven). By organizing tasks into capability- and ambiguity-specific subsets, LongBench enables mechanism-aware evaluation of execution robustness, temporal consistency, and context-dependent reasoning. Evaluating six state-of-the-art policies reveals that long-horizon performance is not governed by a single factor. We observe that performance in fully observable settings is more strongly associated with execution robustness, while contextual difficulty varies across tasks and is not consistently improved by memory-based methods. We hope that LongBench serves as a useful benchmark for studying long-horizon manipulation and for developing policies with stronger robustness across both execution and contextual challenges.
