In the authors’ words
Real-world evaluation is a bottleneck in developing generalist robot manipulation policies. Each rollout requires physical hardware and an operator to set up, reset, and score it. We introduce ArmnetBench v0.1, a benchmark run on a fleet of low-cost SO-101 cells under light on-site supervision. v0.1 validates this arm farm end to end and compares 7 policies across 12 tasks with both single-arm and bimanual configurations. Each policy is trained or fine-tuned on 50 demonstrations per task; the benchmark contains 2,518 policy rollouts and 600 reference demonstrations. All 3,118 episodes carry a three-way label (successful, suboptimal, or failure). Policy rollouts are human-scored, while demonstrations are successful by construction. Beyond evaluation, its quality-labelled trajectories support downstream learning, from reward and predictive world models to policies trained on mixed-quality data. The leaderboard is an initial comparison under this shared budget. We release the 3,118 core episodes in LeRobot v3.0 and RoboMeter formats.
π0.5 leads with 47.6% among models released by May 2026
Best score per entry from the benchmark's own leaderboard, read on November 12th, 2026. Where a model ran with several settings or harnesses, we keep its best. Names in gray aren't in our model list: fine-tunes, agent systems, products and older models. They don't count toward leaders.
