What is it?
BEHAVIOR-1K is a simulation benchmark for embodied AI agents, covering 1,000 everyday household activities. The activities were chosen from real human time-use surveys and preference studies, so the tasks reflect what people actually do at home, such as cleaning, cooking, and organizing.
The repository is a monolithic codebase that bundles what is needed to train and evaluate agents on these human-centered tasks. An installation script handles dependencies and lets users install only the components they need. Full setup instructions are provided in the official installation guide.
Researchers working on robot learning, household task planning, or embodied AI evaluation can use it as a shared benchmark. The project is published alongside an arXiv paper, which is cited in the repository.
