LIBERO-Dynamic: Benchmarking Robotic Manipulation in Dynamic Environments

Most simulation benchmarks for robotic manipulation keep target objects static and treat policy inference as instantaneous.

Key points

  • These assumptions simplify evaluation but hide how a moving target evolves during computation and how stale an observation is when an action is executed.
  • We introduce LIBERO-Dynamic, a dynamic extension of all 40 LIBERO tasks.
  • We evaluate six pretrained policies on 1,800 dynamic conditions per configuration, compare execution strategies and action horizons with fixed checkpoints, and fine-tune three architectures using dynamic and mixed data.
  • LIBERO-Dynamic makes object motion, inference latency, and action execution explicit and controllable for evaluating and improving robot policies in moving-target manipulation.
