RoboTrustBench: Benchmarking the Trustworthiness of Video World Models for Robotic Manipulation

arXiv:2606.01600v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Video world models are increasingly used in robotic manipulation, yet existing benchmarks mostly evaluate them under valid, feasible, and safe instructions. We introduce RoboTrustBench, a benchmark for evaluating the trustworthiness of video world models under four scenarios: Normal, Constraint-Sensitive, Counterfactual, and Adversarial. Built from real-world DROID episodes, RoboTrustBench contains 1,207 expert-validated instruction-image pairs and a six-dimensional evaluation protocol with 13 fine-grained criteria. Evaluating seven representat
As video world models become more integrated into robotic systems, evaluating their trustworthiness under diverse, challenging scenarios is critical for real-world deployment.
This benchmark addresses a key limitation in current robotics development by focusing on the robustness and reliability of AI models, which is essential for safe and effective autonomous systems.
The introduction of RoboTrustBench provides a standardized, multi-faceted evaluation framework that will accelerate the development of more trustworthy and less failure-prone robotic manipulation systems.
