Monkey See, Can Monkey Do? A Benchmark for Evaluating Robot Skill Learning by Observation

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 8, 2026 · UTC

Learning from Observation (LfO) is a fundamental robotic capability that replicates how humans and animals socially learn from each other. Beyond its biological parallels, this modality provides a practical solution for data scaling in sample-inefficient and data-starved domains like robotics. Recent work has demonstrated promising results in learning manipulation skills from human videos, yet progress in this area remains difficult to assess. Existing methods vary widely in assumptions, hardware choices, and environment setups making it difficult to draw meaningful comparisons and identify ad
