SafeManip: A Property-Driven Benchmark for Temporal Safety Evaluation in Robotic Manipulation

Chengyue Huang, Khang Vo Huynh, Lu Feng, Sebastian Elbaum, Zsolt Kira

A new benchmark shows that robotic manipulation policies often violate temporal safety rules even on tasks they complete successfully.

Claims

C1strongest claim

Results show that even strong models often behave unsafely. Task-success gains do not reliably translate into safer execution: many successful rollouts remain unsafe, while longer-horizon or more complex tasks expose more violations.

C2weakest assumption

The LTLf safety templates and the mapping from observed rollouts to symbolic predicate traces accurately capture all relevant temporal safety properties without introducing false positives or missing critical real-world constraints.

C3one line summary

SafeManip is a new benchmark that applies LTLf monitors to assess temporal safety properties across eight categories in robotic manipulation, demonstrating that task success frequently fails to ensure safe execution in vision-language-action policies.
