Moving Out: Physically-grounded Human-AI Collaboration

arXiv:2507.18623v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The ability to adapt to physical actions and constraints in an environment is crucial for embodied agents (e.g., robots) to effectively collaborate with humans. Such physically grounded human-AI collaboration must account for the increased complexity of the continuous state-action space and constrained dynamics caused by physical constraints. However, most existing collaboration benchmarks are discrete or do not consider physical attributes and constraints. To address this, we introduce Moving Out, a human-AI collaboration benchmark tha

Why this matters
Why now

The increasing focus on embodied AI and robotics necessitates more realistic benchmarks for human-AI collaboration, moving beyond discrete simulations to physical interactions.

Why it’s important

This development is crucial for advancing AI's ability to operate effectively in the real world alongside humans, particularly in complex physical tasks.

What changes

The introduction of a physically-grounded benchmark for human-AI collaboration will accelerate research and development in making embodied AI more practical and robust.
