Robot policy evaluation and deployment remain fragmented by model-specific software dependencies, data representations, and runtime interfaces, so that connecting N policies to M evaluation environments requires O(NM) separate integrations. We present XPolicyLab, a unified standard and open ecosystem that reduces this cost to O(N+M). XPolicyLab specifies common observation, action, and trajectory schemas together with a minimal adapter interface for observation updates, action prediction, batched execution, and episode reset, while a dependency-isolated client/server architecture separates policy inference from environment execution, so that each side retains its native software stack and may run locally or remotely. The ecosystem integrates 42 robot policies and standardizes their installation, debugging, serving, and evaluation workflows. Across these adapters, model-specific code varies by an order of magnitude while the environment-facing loop stays within a few lines of a fixed reference, confirming that the contract confines heterogeneity to the policy side. In a controlled study, conforming to the standard reduces the integration effort of a representative policy from over five hours to two hours, and packaged agent skills reduce it further to thirty minutes. The same adapters serve RoboTwin, RoboDojo simulation, and standardized real-robot evaluation through one interface. XPolicyLab is released as shared infrastructure for reproducible policy comparison and standardized deployment across simulation and physical platforms.

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/.
We present EVA-Client, an open-source framework for deployment, data collection, and evaluation of trained manipulation policies on real robots. Sitting between a policy server and the physical hardware, EVA-Client unifies the real-robot stages of the policy iteration loop within a single codebase. It makes three contributions. First, a component-decoupled architecture in which robot backends, inference strategies, and transport middlewares form an orthogonal grid: adding a robot or a strategy touches only its own layer. Second, inspectable execution through Debug, Collect, and Eval workflows, with modes ranging from open-loop simulation to continuous real-time control. Third, every evaluation run doubles as a data collection, recording full rollouts in training-ready format alongside exhaustive logs and a side-by-side comparison viewer, so each evaluation feeds the next round of training rather than ending as an unrecorded impression. EVA-Client further consolidates major real-time inference strategies, synchronous and asynchronous execution, ACT-style temporal ensembling, Real-Time Chunking, and a naive-async ablation baseline, behind a single configuration surface.
Generalist robot manipulation policies trained on large, diverse datasets have shown remarkable promise across a wide range of tasks. However, rigorously evaluating these policies remains a fundamental challenge. Real-world performance depends on a large combinatorial space of task factors including object poses and camera viewpoints, making full, exhaustive evaluation intractable. Additionally, real hardware evaluation is slow and resource-intensive, so current practice is to use narrow test suites that can miss critical failure modes and misrepresent true deployment readiness. We propose an active evaluation framework that addresses this challenge by treating policy evaluation as a sequential experimental design problem. Our approach fits a probabilistic surrogate model over a structured space of task factors and adaptively selects evaluation configurations to maximize information gain over the policy's performance distribution, allowing for sample-efficient characterization of policy behavior across unseen conditions and a systematic identification of failure-prone regions. We conduct 2331 real-world evaluations across 3 tasks with 3 factor variations and find that our approach typically saves the evaluator at least 20-40% of trials compared to typical random testing.
