A Physics-Consistent Benchmark for Contact-Rich Human-Robot Interaction in Assistive Care

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 2, 2026 · UTC

Conventional task-level evaluation asks whether a robot policy completes a specified action, but can miss failures that emerge only during physical human contact. This limitation is critical in contact-rich assistive tasks, where meaningful evaluation requires a physically responsive human, interaction-quality assessment beyond task success, and a leak-free observer-scorer protocol. We introduce a physics-consistent benchmark for contact-rich human-robot interaction, instantiated in robot-assisted bathing. The benchmark combines a deformable, passively responding human, physics-aware scores al
