WatchAct - Imitation: leaderboard
The Imitation task of WatchAct (Li et al., 2026): after watching a real video of a person in a tabletop scene, the robot planner reproduces the action sequence the person performed. A vision-language model writes a high-level Pick/Place/Open/Close plan that is executed symbolically in an aligned LIBERO scene; plan success rate in percent over 290 instances, higher is better.
Metric: Plan success rate (%; the VLM's high-level Pick/Place/Open/Close plan, predicted from a real human video and an instruction, run through a symbolic executor and checked against the task's success predicate; 290 instances). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around February 2027. 9 models tracked.
