## Summary

The paper proposes PAPAV, a capability-centric unified framework that characterizes multimodal embodied agents (MMEAs) through five functions: Perceive, Anticipate, Plan, Act, and Verify, and uses it to compare multimodal agents (MMAs) with robotic systems (RSs). An analysis across 64 benchmarks shows that explicit evaluation centers on Act, with only 5 assessing Anticipate and 3 assessing Verify. Physical constraints make errors harder to reverse, and PAPAV provides a common basis for designing reliable physical agents and measuring progress across the five capabilities.
