What this measures

Human baseline

Adjust behavior when the environment is slightly different from what was seen in training.

Human frontier

Generalize a learned skill to a structurally novel environment without retraining.

Current state

What works

Domain randomization helps narrow gaps; some zero-shot sim-to-real transfer demonstrated.

Key gaps

True out-of-distribution generalization; skills learned in one environment rarely transfer cleanly.
