HumanoidToolBench: Benchmarking Humanoid Tool Use from Selection to Mobile Execution
arXiv:2610.02089v1 Announce Type: new 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

arXiv:2610.02089v1 Announce Type: new 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 and on a real Unitree G1. Evaluation of seven policies in simulation and three on the real robot reveals substantial gaps between selecting a suitable tool and completing the task. Focused GR00T N1.7 probes show reduced selection accuracy on unseen tools and continued task execution under unrelated instructions.
