AsgardBench Reveals Why Your Future Home Robot Might Still Spill the Coffee

Imagine telling your kitchen robot to clean a mug, only for it to scrub a spotless one endlessly. AsgardBench proves today's AI can't reliably adapt to what it sees, stalling real-world robot dreams.

⚑ Key Takeaways

  • Vision doubles embodied AI success rates, but top models still fail 55-75% on adaptive planning.
  • AsgardBench isolates visual grounding, becoming the must-pass test for household robots.
  • Persistent failures in loops and state tracking show today's agents lack true reasoning.
