UMI-Bench 1.0: An Open and Reproducible Real-World Benchmark for Tabletop Robotic Manipulation with UMI Data

arXiv:2606.10382v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Real-robot evaluation is essential for understanding whether learned manipulation policies can operate reliably outside curated demonstrations. This need is particularly pressing for Universal Manipulation Interface (UMI)-style policies, whose performance depends on the coupling between wrist-view observations, action representation, data collection, and physical deployment. Existing real-world benchmarks have made important progress, but they are not designed around this UMI data-to-deployment setting. We present UMI-Bench 1.0, a local-first real-robot benchmark for standardized evaluation of UMI-style manipulation policies. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first benchmark dedicated to real-world evaluation of UMI-based manipulation models. UMI-Bench aligns data collection, scene reset, policy execution, result logging, and task-factor analysis within a unified protocol. By making the full evaluation process reproducible and auditable, UMI-Bench provides a practical testbed for measuring how UMI-trained policies generalize to real physical manipulation.
