Article Summary

Manipulation policies are evaluated predominantly by binary task success, which cannot tell whether the commanded gesture is the one the object's kinematics admit. We introduce Constraint-Referenced Strategy (CRS), which projects the commanded end-effector twist onto the object's joint axis, separating progress along the joint from off-constraint waste. CRS requires a joint model and a joint-following scripted controller derived from it, but no recorded demonstration or learned judge. On 74 simulated articulated objects, success registers three transfer failures as lower rates but attributes none, while the two CRS channels give each a distinct signature. A door-trained behavior-cloning policy opens drawers in 59 of 110 episodes, and in these passes it commands about $40\times$ the off-axis rotation of a drawer-trained policy's passes ($1.27$ vs.\ $0.032$~rad/s). Relative to a scripted controller scored with the same axis, CRS verdicts are unchanged under joint-axis errors up to $30^\circ$; absolute thresholds tolerate about $8^\circ$.
