AndroidReality: How Far Are Mobile Agents from the Real World?
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.07775v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mobile agents have achieved promising results on clean online benchmarks such as AndroidWorld, yet their performance often degrades sharply in real-world deployment due to environmental variations and imperfect interface conditions. In this work, we introduce AndroidReality, a perturbation-based framework for evaluating and improving the robustness of mobile agents. Through a Markov Decision Process (MDP) perspective, we organize real-world interface variability into a principled taxonomy of perturbations along three axes: state, transition, and
