What is BEHAVIOR-1K?
BEHAVIOR-1K is a comprehensive simulation benchmark for human-centered robotics. Compared to its predecessor, BEHAVIOR-100, this new benchmark is more grounded on actual human needs: the 1,000 activities come from the results of an extensive survey on “what do you want robots to do for you?”. It is more diverse in the type of scenes, objects, and activities. Powered by NVIDIA’s Omniverse, BEHAVIOR-1K also achieves a new level of realism in rendering and physics simulation. We hope that BEHAVIOR-1K’s human-grounded nature, diversity, and realism make it valuable for embodied AI and robot learning research.
The first BEHAVIOR-1K full release (v1.0.0) is now available! This release features 1,004 pre-sampled activities, 50 scenes, ~10,000 objects, and many usability improvements. Get started!

Building blocks of BEHAVIOR-1K
BEHAVIOR-1K includes two components. The first is the definition of 1,000 everyday activities, grounded in 50 scenes (houses, gardens, restaurants, offices, etc.) with more than 9,000 objects annotated with rich physical and semantic properties. The second is OmniGibson (based on Nvidia’s Omniverse), a novel simulation environment that supports these activities via realistic physics simulation and rendering of rigid bodies, deformable bodies, and liquids.
You can follow installation guide to start using BEHAVIOR-1K for your research. The main components are:
* BEHAVIOR-1K benchmark codebase and documentation.
* BEHAVIOR-1K scene and object assets (docs TBD).
* BEHAVIOR-1K Activity definitions in Behavior Domain Definition Language (BDDL).
