LIBERO-PeRM: Benchmarking Personalized Robotic Manipulation

Zhixu Li, Keqian Tang, Litian Gong et al.1 min readarXivOct 15, 2026

Key Takeaway for Students

Personalization is essential for general-purpose robots to transition into household environments and achieve true practicality. While general robotic manipulation has been extensively studied, personalized robotic manipulation (PeRM) lacks a controlled benchmark for separating task completion from preference satisfaction. We introduce LIBERO-PeRM, a benchmark for preference le
