Researchers have introduced Sensorimotor Alignment ($S^2$), a novel metric designed to evaluate the capability of robotic foundation models without requiring costly closed-loop rollouts. This metric is based on the Platonic Representation Hypothesis, which suggests that as models improve, different modalities converge toward a shared statistical model of reality. $S^2$ measures how well a model's sensory representation aligns with the geometry of physical motion, correlating positively with downstream robot task success and identifying promising vision-language model backbones prior to fine-tuning.
