SidewalkBench: leaderboard

Visual navigation policies drive a simulated delivery robot along 100 procedurally generated urban sidewalk routes of over 100 m with obstacles and pedestrians; the number is failures (collisions, lane exits and freezes) per 100 m travelled, lower is better. Unlike goal-directed indoor navigation benchmarks (Habitat ObjectNav, VLN-CE), the policy gets no privileged goal and is judged on staying on the sidewalk and handling pedestrians.

Metric: Failures per 100 m (collisions, lane exits and freezes) on 100 long-horizon routes in procedurally generated scenes (lower is better). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Rough model projection: around 2026. 8 models tracked.
