# Are Frontier VLM Agents Ready to Be Robot Generalists? An Empirical Study with the Embodied Agent Arena > Source: > Published: 2026-11-04 04:00:00+00:00 A robot generalist must interpret a scene, act on it, and satisfy every condition of a task. How far do frontier vision-language models (VLMs) meet these demands? We introduce Embodied Agent Arena, evaluating ten VLM agents across Geometry, Spatial Reasoning, Affordance, Task Planning, and Manipulat
