Title: RoboPlayground: Democratizing Robotic Evaluation through Structured Physical Domains

Abstract:
arXiv:2604.05226v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Evaluation of robotic manipulation systems has largely relied on fixed benchmarks authored by a small number of experts, where task instances, constraints, and success criteria are predefined and difficult to extend. This paradigm limits who can shape evaluation and obscures how policies respond to user-authored variations in task intent, constraints, and notions of success. We argue that evaluating modern manipulation policies requires reframing
