dingxingdi Skill: exploration-aware-evidence-collection
1. Capability Definition & Real Case
- Professional Definition: This capability measures whether an embodied agent can plan and execute an exploration trajectory that collects sufficient task-relevant evidence before answering an open-ended question. It emphasizes grounding, evidence sufficiency, and the alignment between what the agent observed and what it claims in the final answer.
- Dimension Hierarchy: Goal-Directed Exploration->Question-Conditioned Exploration->exploration-aware-evidence-collection
Real Case
[Case 1]
- Initial Environment: The agent starts in a home corridor outside the kitchen with only a partial view of cabinets and the sink area. The faucet itself is not visible from the start position.
- Real Question: Did I leave the faucet running in the kitchen?
- Real Trajectory: The agent walks from the corridor into the kitchen, turns toward the sink, inspects the faucet directly, and stops once the water state is visible.
- Real Answer: No, the faucet is turned off.
- Why this demonstrates the capability: The answer cannot be grounded from the starting observation. The agent must move to a location where the target state becomes directly observable. This tests exploration quality and evidence gathering rather than prior knowledge.
[Case 2]
- Initial Environment: The embodied agent begins near the entryway of an apartment. The living room and TV corner are not fully visible, and the floor lamp is hidden behind a partial wall until the agent enters deeper into the room.
- Real Question: Where is the floor lamp in the living room?
- Real Trajectory: The agent explores the living room, checks the TV side of the room, identifies the lamp, and records a grounded spatial answer tied to a visible landmark.
- Real Answer: It is in the corner of the living room, next to the TV.
- Why this demonstrates the capability: The correct answer depends on reaching a vantage point with clear evidence. A generic guess like 'near the couch' would be plausible but ungrounded. The capability is therefore about collecting the right visual proof before responding.
[Case 3]
- Initial Environment: The agent starts in a laundry-adjacent hallway and has not yet observed the utility area. Several rooms are reachable from the initial location, including a bathroom and a bedroom.
- Real Question: How many washing machines do I have?
- Real Trajectory: The agent first identifies the laundry region, enters it, inspects the appliance area, and counts distinct washing machine units before answering.
- Real Answer: Only one.
- Why this demonstrates the capability: The task is not answerable from commonsense priors because the home could plausibly contain zero, one, or multiple machines. The agent must collect counting evidence from a relevant region. This makes the exploration path itself part of the competence being tested.
