Robot Peg-in-Hole Benchmark Dispute: "Not Jammed" Isn't the Metric
younghyo_park · x · 2026-10-20
A discussion about fairness in evaluating robotic peg-in-hole tasks. A critic argued that using "not jammed" as the metric seems unfair; the author clarified that their benchmark actually measures contact onset plus lateral/tilt play (how much the peg wiggles inside the hole) against the analytic shape, so excess play counts as error too.
