RoboFollow Benchmark Exposes Instruction Following Gaps in Embodied Agents
September 21, 2026
RoboFollow identifies an instruction-following mirage where agents appear capable due to low scene entropy but fail when tasks are not visually redundant. The benchmark uses a four-level hierarchical protocol to force reliance on language by increasing scene complexity.
HOW THIS AFFECTS YOU
●
builderUse this benchmark to verify that your embodied agents actually process language rather than just reacting to visual cues.
