01 The arena
From seeing a scene
to completing a task.
One arena tests what agents can perceive, reason about, and physically achieve across five robotic capabilities.

Introducing GeoProbe
Separate object motion
from camera motion.
168 new cases isolate camera motion, object motion, depth, and scale.
02 A deep dive of Astra
Where Astra leads. Where it falls short.

Bold marks the best score; arrows show the better direction. ± is the standard deviation across runs. Manipulation uses the baseline setting.
