BEHAVIOR is a benchmark testing loco-manipulation capabilities across 50 diverse household tasks. The benchmark uses the Galaxea R1 Pro robot in simulated home environments powered by OmniGibson. For more information, see the BEHAVIOR website.

​
Benchmark results

Checkpoint: nvidia/GR00T-N1.6-BEHAVIOR1k GR00T N1.6 achieves 26.30% average task progress across all 50 tasks, compared to Pi0.5’s 11.30%.

​
Top performing tasks

TaskTask progress (N1.6)
clean_a_trumpet60.00%
getting_organized_for_work53.57%
boxing_books_up_for_storage51.54%
attach_a_camera_to_a_tripod46.00%
make_microwave_popcorn45.00%
picking_up_trash44.87%
turning_on_radio43.33%
clearing_food_from_table_into_fridge42.31%
Task Progress is a denser metric than Q Score, measuring the proportion of subtasks completed within each household activity.

​
Individual task post-training

Starting from the base checkpoint, post-training on individual tasks shows significant improvement:
TaskTask progressQ score
turning_on_radio80.56%0.70

Fine-tuning

1

Download dataset

Download the BEHAVIOR dataset from HuggingFace (all 50 tasks):
huggingface-cli download nvidia/PhysicalAI-Robotics-GR00T-X-Embodiment-Sim \
    --repo-type dataset \
    --include "sim_behavior_r1_pro.*" \
    --local-dir $HOME/gr00t_dataset
To download a specific task, replace sim_behavior_r1_pro.* with the task name.
2

Run fine-tuning

uv run bash examples/BEHAVIOR/finetune_BEHAVIOR.sh
Note the use of BEHAVIOR_R1_PRO embodiment tag.

​
Evaluation

​
Setup environment

BEHAVIOR simulation is built on Omniverse and Isaac Sim. GPUs without RT cores (A100, H100) are not supported. Tested on L40 and L40s. See Isaac Sim requirements for details.

Clone and setup BEHAVIOR-1K

git clone https://github.com/StanfordVL/BEHAVIOR-1K.git
cd BEHAVIOR-1K

# Checkout branch with task progress metric
git checkout feat/task-progress

# Activate GR00T uv environment
source PATH_TO_GR00T/.venv/bin/activate

# Headless installation (auto-accepts EULA and license)
bash ./setup_uv.sh

​
Run evaluation

1

Start policy server

In Terminal 1:
uv sync --python 3.10
uv pip install -e .

uv run gr00t/eval/run_gr00t_server.py \
    --model-path nvidia/GR00T-N1.6-BEHAVIOR1k \
    --embodiment-tag BEHAVIOR_R1_PRO \
    --use-sim-policy-wrapper
2

Start evaluation client

In Terminal 2:
uv run python gr00t/eval/rollout_policy.py \
    --n_episodes 10 \
    --policy_client_host 127.0.0.1 \
    --policy_client_port 5555 \
    --max_episode_steps=999999999 \
    --env_name sim_behavior_r1_pro/turning_on_radio \
    --n_action_steps 8 \
    --n_envs 1
We set max_episode_steps to a large value because BEHAVIOR uses 2x human steps as the horizon. Set a smaller value for faster debugging. Video recording is disabled to prevent simulation crashes with decord.
