Mobile device control agents can largely enhance user interactions and productivity by automating daily tasks. However, despite growing interest in developing practical agents, the absence of a commonly adopted benchmark in this area makes it challenging to quantify scientific progress. In this work, we introduce B-MoCA: a novel benchmark with interactive environments for evaluating and developing mobile device control agents. To create a realistic benchmark, we develop B-MoCA based on the Android operating system and define 131 common daily tasks. Importantly, we incorporate a randomization feature that changes the configurations of mobile devices, including user interface layouts and language settings, to assess generalization performance. We benchmark diverse agents, including agents employing large language models (LLMs) or multi-modal LLMs as well as agents trained with imitation learning using human expert demonstrations. While these agents demonstrate proficiency in executing straightforward tasks, their poor performance on complex tasks highlights significant opportunities for future research to improve effectiveness. Our source code is publicly available at https://b-moca.github.io.

    cs.CR 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Under controlled authority invalidation, agents reach visible goals in 262/270 runs but only 55 remain authorized; CommitGuard blocks stale durable effects when runtimes emit boundary signals.

  2. MobiAgent: A Systematic Framework for Customizable Mobile Agents

    cs.MA 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A full-stack mobile agent framework reports state-of-the-art task completion on its own DAG-based benchmark and 2-3x speedups from replaying recorded trajectories.

  3. Poison Once, Control Anywhere: Clean-Text Visual Backdoors in VLM-based Mobile Agents

    cs.CR 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Visual-only perturbations in fine-tuning screenshots can implant backdoors in VLM-based mobile agents, triggering attacker-chosen actions at inference.

  4. TextAtari: 100K Frames Game Playing with Language Agents

    cs.CL 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    TextAtari is a text-based Atari benchmark for language agents; 7-8B LLMs stay below 10% of human scores in over 90% of tested conditions, and knowledge injection helps more than chain-of-thought.

  5. Automated Skill Discovery for Language Agents through Exploration and Iterative Feedback

    cs.AI 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    EXIF repeatedly has a teacher agent explore an environment, relabel the exploration as tasks, train a student agent on it, and use the student's failures to guide the next round, improving 7B-8B agents in Webshop and Crafter.

  6. Evolutionary Perspectives on the Evaluation of LLM-Based AI Agents: A Comprehensive Survey

    cs.CL 2025-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A survey that classifies AI agent evaluation benchmarks along environment and capability axes, and proposes five traits that distinguish agents from chatbots.
