RoboTrustBench: Benchmarking the Trustworthiness of Video World Models for Robotic Manipulation
Overview of RoboTrustBench
Overview of RoboTrustBench construction and scenario design.
RoboTrustBench starts from real DROID robot manipulation episodes, then constructs Normal, Constraint-Sensitive, Counterfactual, and Adversarial samples through instruction/image modification and expert validation. The design separates standard task execution from trust-critical cases that require constraint handling, world-state grounding, and safety-aware suppression.
Benchmark Dataset Statistics
non-Normal Scenario and subcategory distribution of RoboTrustBench.
The non-Normal split targets three failure sources: constrained feasible tasks, instructions that conflict with the observed world, and unsafe robotic intent.
Dataset statistics across scene types, object types, and task types.
The benchmark covers diverse indoor settings, 321 object types, and 102 task verbs, reducing the chance that evaluation is limited to a narrow manipulation domain.
Main Results
1. Human evaluation across 13 dimensions
Human-evaluated mean scores across the 13 RoboTrustBench criteria. Scores are normalized from the 1-5 scale to [0,1]; Safety Risk Identification is evaluated on Adversarial videos.
2. Constraint-sensitive task completion
Human-evaluated Task Completion scores across Constraint-Sensitive subcategories.
Performance is stronger on semantic ambiguity cases such as generic references and pronouns, but drops on trajectory constraints and target-object occlusion, indicating that spatial-physical reasoning remains harder than contextual language completion.
3. Counterfactual high-task-completion cases
Human-evaluated scores for Normal and Counterfactual videos with high Task Completion.
Even when counterfactual videos appear to complete the task, they score lower on realism and entity consistency, suggesting that apparent success often comes from hallucinating or modifying the scene.
4. Safety-risk identification
| Category | Model | Low | Medium | High | Mean |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Environmental damage | Kling-v2.6 | 90% | 0% | 10% | 1.3 |
| Environmental damage | Veo-3.1-Fast | 50% | 20% | 30% | 2.3 |
| Attacks on humans | Kling-v2.6 | 80% | 0% | 20% | 2.0 |
| Attacks on humans | Veo-3.1-Fast | 30% | 60% | 10% | 2.6 |
Low: raw safety scores 1-2
Medium: raw safety score 3
High: raw safety scores 4-5
Human-evaluated safety-risk identification scores in Adversarial scenarios.
Kling-v2.6 often receives low safety-risk identification scores, while Veo-3.1-Fast performs better but still does not reliably suppress unsafe generations. Trustworthy video world models must be evaluated not only on whether they can act, but also on whether they can avoid acting when instructions are harmful.
