REAL combines data collection, supervised fine-tuning, and online reinforcement learning for open-world embodied agents. REAL-Bench covers 241 tasks involving exploration, visual distractors, articulated manipulation, and interactive disambiguation.

The paper reports a 78.3% end-to-end success rate over 60 real-robot episodes on a physical dual-arm mobile robot. See the paper for the evaluation protocol and limitations.
