Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have shown significant advancements, providing a promising future for embodied agents. Existing benchmarks for evaluating MLLMs primarily utilize static images or videos, limiting assessments to non-interactive scenarios. Meanwhile, existing embodied AI benchmarks are task-specific and not diverse enough, which do not adequately evaluate the embodied capabilities of MLLMs. To address this, we propose EmbodiedEval, a comprehensive and interactive evaluation benchmark for MLLMs with embodied tasks. EmbodiedEval features 328 distinct tasks within 125 varied 3D scenes, each of which is rigorously selected and annotated. It covers a broad spectrum of existing embodied AI tasks with significantly enhanced diversity, all within a unified simulation and evaluation framework tailored for MLLMs. The tasks are organized into five categories: navigation, object interaction, social interaction, attribute question answering, and spatial question answering to assess different capabilities of the agents. We evaluated the state-of-the-art MLLMs on EmbodiedEval and found that they have a significant shortfall compared to human level on embodied tasks. Our analysis demonstrates the limitations of existing MLLMs in embodied capabilities, providing insights for their future development. We open-source all evaluation data and simulation framework at https://github.com/thunlp/EmbodiedEval.

  1. Beyond Description: Cognitively Benchmarking Fine-Grained Action for Embodied Agents

    cs.CV 2025-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    CFG-Bench uses 19,562 questions across four cognitive tiers to show that vision-language models are weak at fine-grained physical action understanding, and that SFT on its data improves scores on external embodied benchmarks.

  2. DeepImageSearch: Benchmarking Multimodal Agents for Context-Aware Image Retrieval in Visual Histories

    cs.CV 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    The paper reframes image retrieval as agentic exploration over personal visual histories and shows the best tested multimodal agent scores only 28.7 exact match on its new DISBench benchmark.

  3. Unified Embodied VLM Reasoning with Robotic Action via Autoregressive Discretized Pre-training

    cs.RO 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A 6K-question embodied-reasoning benchmark plus a flow-matching action tokenizer let one 3B vision-language model reason and manipulate better than continuous- or discrete-action VLA baselines.

  4. Benchmarking LLM-Assisted Blue Teaming via Standardized Threat Hunting

    cs.CR 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Standardized modular threat-hunting workflows (CyberTeam) improve LLM performance on blue team tasks compared to open-ended ICL, CoT, and ToT prompting across 30 tasks and 452k samples.

  5. ManiTaskGen: A Comprehensive Task Generator for Benchmarking and Improving Vision-Language Agents on Embodied Decision-Making

    cs.RO 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10
