# ProcessBench

## Dataset Summary

ProcessBench is a process-aware benchmark for vision-language robotic manipulation understanding. It evaluates whether VLMs can infer how a manipulation execution unfolds, including phase, contact, motion, bimanual coordination, primitive-local progress, temporal order, outcome, and primitive-level transitions.

This release contains 57,892 QA rows: 48,841 SFT rows and 9,051 evaluation rows across 12 task families and 260 manipulation tasks. The split follows strict episode / recording / scene isolation. The benchmark is derived from GM-100, RH20T, REASSEMBLE, and AIST-Bimanual.

## Task Families

ProcessBench contains 12 diagnostic question families:

- **T1 Phase Recognition:** identify the current coarse process phase.
- **T2 Contact Detection:** determine whether task-relevant contact has occurred.
- **T3 Motion Direction Prediction:** infer the dominant motion direction from short temporal context.
- **T4 Bimanual Coordination State:** identify the current coordination state of two arms.
- **T5 Primitive-local Progress:** estimate progress within the current local manipulation step.
- **T6 Motion State Recognition:** distinguish actively moving from stationary states.
- **T7 Operation Outcome Prediction:** predict eventual success or failure from partial execution evidence.
- **T8 Temporal Ordering:** reconstruct the chronological order of shuffled observations.
- **T9 Temporal Priority Prediction:** decide which of two observations occurred earlier.
- **T10 Current Primitive Recognition:** identify the current low-level primitive.
- **T11 Next Primitive Prediction:** infer the next primitive from local process context.
- **T12 Primitive Chain Restoration:** restore a masked primitive in a local primitive chain.
