R2HandoverSim: A Simulation Framework and Benchmark for Robot-to-Human Object Handovers

摘要

We present R2HandoverSim, a simulation benchmark for robot-to-human (R2H) object handovers. Although R2H handover methods have advanced rapidly, the lack of standardized evaluation protocols impedes objective comparison. Our benchmark enables reproducible evaluation by systematically comparing four baselines on their predicted shared grasp poses. We conduct a user study with 30 participants, analyze baseline performance, and show that simulation results correlate with real-world evaluation outcomes. Crucially, five complementary metrics (planning feasibility, reachability, grasp stability, grasp affordance, and safety) better reflect user-perceived handover quality than overall success rate alone.
