Original abstract

Semantic mapping methods are increasingly used as intermediate scene representations for downstream robotic reasoning and manipulation, yet their evaluation is still largely tied to fixed benchmark datasets with limited coverage of manipulation-relevant corner cases. In this work, we extend OSMa-Bench toward controllable benchmarking with prompt-generated synthetic indoor scenes. Our pipeline automatically generates scene descriptions, synthesizes corresponding environments with SceneSmith, and adapts the resulting assets into an OSMa-Bench-compatible simulation format. This adaptation requires a nontrivial intermediate layer, including semantic normalization, material and texture repair, shader fallback policies, floor handling, navigation setup, and controlled lighting configuration. A key advantage of the proposed setup is that the original scene-generation prompt is known in advance and can therefore serve as an auxiliary semantic specification of the intended scene. We use this property to extend the VQA component of OSMa-Bench with a prompt-grounded question category. The resulting framework supports targeted stress-testing of semantic scene representations under conditions such as clutter, small objects, partial occlusions, and lighting variation, and makes benchmarking more extensible and better aligned with downstream manipulation requirements. Our code is available at https://github.com/be2rlab/OSMa-Bench-v2.
