Facebook AI Research (FAIR) is dedicated to advancing the field of socially intelligent robotics. Their goal is to create robots that can assist with everyday tasks while adapting to human preferences. They are merging AI, AR, VR, and robotics to create a future where technology seamlessly augments our daily experiences and empowers us in new ways.
Habitat 3.0
Habitat 3.0 is a high-quality simulator for robots and avatars that enables human-robot collaboration in a home-like setting. It allows for quick and safe testing of algorithms in virtual environments before deploying them on physical robots. Habitat 3.0 offers benchmark tasks that promote collaborative robot-human behaviors, introducing new avenues to explore socially embodied AI.
Habitat Synthetic Scenes Dataset (HSSD-200)
HSSD-200 is a synthetic 3D scene dataset designed for training robots in simulated environments. It provides a more realistic and compact option for training navigation agents. Despite its smaller scale, agents trained on HSSD-200 perform comparably to those trained on much larger datasets. It demonstrates efficiency in generalization to physical-world scenarios.
HomeRobot
HomeRobot is a platform that provides motivating tasks, versatile software interfaces, and community engagement for robotics research. It supports navigation and manipulation tasks for various robots in both simulated and physical-world settings. The platform emphasizes transferability, modularity, and baseline agents, with a benchmark showcasing success in physical-world tests.
