HumanoidToolBench: Benchmarking Humanoid Tool Use from Selection to Mobile Execution
Quick summary
arXiv:2610.02089v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As robotic hardware and learning methods advance, humanoids need tools to perform tasks beyond their inherent physical limits. Successful tool use requires selecting a suitable tool and coordinating manipulation and, when needed, locomotion to complete the task. Existing benchmarks do not jointly evaluate these capabilities on a humanoid. We introduce HumanoidToolBench, an 18-task benchmark spanning three scenarios, three execution levels, and two tool-set modes, together with ToolBook, a dataset of 3.1k demonstrations collected in simulation a
