What this measures

Human baseline

Recognize that a chair is for sitting and a handle is for pulling.

Human frontier

Infer affordances of novel objects never seen during training.

Current state

What works

Common household object affordances in structured settings.

Key gaps

Novel objects; context-dependent affordances requiring physical interaction to discover.
