Why it matters
Most manipulation benchmarks evaluate task success alone, ignoring physical interaction quality. SoftVTBench enables evaluation of deformation-aware success, addressing how policies interact with deformable objects.
Motivation
Physical interaction quality is central to deformable-object manipulation, yet most benchmarks evaluate task success alone.
