RoboStressBench: Benchmarking VLM Robustness to Physical Visual Stress in Embodied Scenes 文章

arXiv:2606.00828v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have shown strong visual understanding and are increasingly deployed in embodied AI systems, where reliable perception under real conditions is essential. However, existing benchmarks assess VLMs using clean images or isolated perturbations rather than stresses caused by physical scene formation. This design has two limitations: it covers only a narrow subset of everyday visual stresses, and some perturbations rarely appear in realistic embodied scenes. This gap raises a fundamental question: how can we define visual stress in a principled way that captures the diverse factors encountered in physical environments? To address this question, we formulate visual perception from an inverse graphics perspective and introduce RoboStressBench, a benchmark for evaluating VLM robustness to physical visual stress in embodied scenes.
