_As embodied AI enters a period of rapid model advancement, reliable evaluation 
standards remain in short supply. What can these models actually do well, and where
do they fall short?_

Shanghai, China, August 24, 2026 — Recently, RoboColiseum, a standardized simulation
evaluation platform for embodied intelligence, was officially launched. The platform
establishes a comprehensive, multi-dimensional evaluation framework, with simulation
benchmarks designed to closely reflect real-world robot performance. It helps developers
identify model strengths and weaknesses, and iterate and improve their models. Open
to universities, research institutions, AI companies, and researchers worldwide,
the platform provides real-time evaluation updates and aims to establish a trustworthy,
reproducible benchmark for embodied AI model evaluation.

Since the start of its closed beta, RoboColiseum has attracted hundreds of teams
from around the world to train and evaluate their models on the platform.

**Virtual Meets Reality: Simulation Evaluation Aligned with the Real World**

Can strong model performance in simulated environments transfer to the real physical
world? Once deployed in real-world scenarios, factors such as lighting, material
properties, camera noise, object interactions, and variations in robot initial positions
and poses can all lead to performance degradation. Therefore, accurately measuring
a model’s real-world capabilities through simulation evaluation remains a critical
challenge.

Built on a high-fidelity simulation environment, RoboColiseum uses photorealistic
rendering and physically accurate interactions to faithfully replicate real-world
conditions. For a given model, the sim-to-real gap is less than 10%, making simulation
evaluation a reliable proxy for real-robot performance and significantly accelerating
algorithm development cycles. By enabling developers to evaluate models in simulation
before moving to physical robots, RoboColiseum helps reduce the cost and time required
for real-world testing.

This validation pipeline works in both directions: models trained with real-robot
data can be directly evaluated in simulation, while models trained in simulation
can also be validated on real robots to assess their sim-to-real transfer performance.
By bridging simulation and the real world in a single environment, RoboColiseum 
enables developers to obtain high-confidence results at lower cost and significantly
shorten the iteration cycle of “training–evaluation–improvement–deployment.”

**Building a Comprehensive Evaluation System with Four Dimensions to Precisely Identify
Capability Gaps**

Traditional evaluations often rely on a single overall success rate to summarize
model performance. RoboColiseum, takes a more granular approach, evaluating models
across four core capability dimensions through dedicated task suites and leaderboards.
Currently, the platform provides 4 capability-specific leaderboards and 78 high-
fidelity simulation evaluation tasks,enabling developers to compare models across
multiple capabilities and on a per-task basis.RoboColiseum also provides official
baselines for leading embodied foundation models, including ACoT-VLA, π, and GR00T,
enabling developers to benchmark their models against established baselines across
multiple capabilities and individual tasks. In the future, it will continue expanding
tasks and evaluation dimensions based on industry, academic, and research needs.

**• Instruction Following:** Tests how well a model understands natural-language
instructions involving attributes such as shape, size, color, and logic, and how
closely its actions align with what is asked.

**• Spatial Reasoning: **Uses tasks such as relative-position grasping, sorting,
and stacking to assess spatial intelligence at the intersection of geometric and
semantic reasoning.

**• Robustness:** Tests model robustness under 10+ real-world disturbances, including
changes in lighting, background, instruction phrasing, camera noise, and gripper
configurations.

**• Manipulation: **Measures a range of atomic manipulation skills across varied
scenes and, through tiered difficulty levels, evaluates how well a model combines
these skills in long-horizon tasks.

To make failure causes traceable, RoboColiseum breaks evaluation tasks down into
multiple subtasks. The platform not only determines whether the final task succeeds,
but also records which steps the model completes, where failures occur, and how 
well the model generalizes across different scenarios.

In its evaluation design, RoboColiseum reduces the impact of randomness through 
large-scale and diverse samples. It also adopts mechanisms including domain randomization,
separation of training and test sets, and in-distribution and out-of-distribution
testing to ensure that models are evaluated based on their actual capabilities rather
than relying on fixed layouts or recurring data patterns, improving the reliability
and reproducibility of evaluation results.

**One-Click AI Agent Submission, Evaluation in 30 Minutes**

For developers, high-quality evaluation often requires complex environment configuration,
asset adaptation, and significant computing resources, making it time-consuming 
to build a complete evaluation pipeline.

RoboColiseum streamlines these processes through an automated evaluation service.
Developers can register and submit a model in as little as 5 minutes, deploy it 
with one click, and complete simulation evaluation within 30 minutes. The platform
automatically provides detailed scores, task-level results, and model execution 
videos, offering a clear view of robot performance throughout each task.

With AI Agents, developers can also complete data downloads, model training, local
validation, and evaluation submissions through natural language interaction. Model
code and weights do not need to be uploaded to the platform. Instead, developers
can deploy an inference service locally and connect through a standardized interface
to crun evaluations.

Providing Mainstream Model Baselines for Reproducible Evaluation

RoboColiseum has provided baseline results for internationally recognized embodied
foundation models, including ACoT-VLA, π0, π0.5, and GR00T. After submitting their
own models, developers can compare performance against mainstream models across 
four dimensions and quickly identify their strengths and weaknesses.

Meanwhile, RoboColiseum provides training code and corresponding weights for baseline
models on platform tasks. Developers can reproduce the training and evaluation processes,
verify baseline results, and conduct model comparisons and further research under
consistent conditions.

**Building an Open and Neutral “Arena” and “Training Ground”**

The name “Coliseum” is inspired by the ancient Roman amphitheater RoboColiseum builds
on this idea, serving both as an “arena” where models can be evaluated under the
same conditions and as a “training ground” where developers can repeatedly test,
identify weaknesses, and continuously improve their models.

The long-term goal of the platform is to transform complex real-world tasks into
a standardized, reproducible, and continuously evolving evaluation system, making
evaluation a fundamental tool in embodied AI development.

By enabling models to be compared and improved against the same benchmarks, RoboColiseum
aims to move embodied AI beyond carefully selected success cases toward more reliable,
transparent, and verifiable progress in the real world.The platform also welcomes
developers worldwide to open-source their models and contribute them to the platform,
jointly building a more open and collaborative embodied intelligence ecosystem.

RoboColiseum is now officially open. Developers worldwide are welcome to participate!
