A new evaluation benchmark called IndustrialVLA-Bench has been developed to assess open robot policy models, specifically comparing vision-language-action (VLA) models against world-action models (WAMs). The benchmark introduces a unified reporting schema to evaluate capability, robustness to non-language variations, and instruction sensitivity across six different systems. Results indicate that while clean capability scores are similar across models, robustness and paraphrase evaluations reveal significant differences, suggesting that the choice of evaluation protocol heavily influences perceived performance.
