## Summary

The authors propose TouchSafeBench, a physically grounded benchmark built in Habitat 3.0 for evaluating the collision grounding capability of vision-language models (VLMs). It contains 2,940 simulated indoor co-presence episodes covering two scenario types, social navigation and social rearrangement, and provides synchronized multi-view RGB-D observations, top-down trajectory maps, calibrated camera metadata, and simulator contact labels.
