AI Habitat By Facebook

AI Habitat enables training of embodied AI agents (virtual robots) in a highly photorealistic & efficient 3D simulator, before transferring the learned skills to reality. This empowers a paradigm shift from 'internet AI' based on static datasets (e.g. ImageNet, COCO, VQA) to embodied AI where agents act within realistic environments, bringing to the fore active perception, long-term planning, learning from interaction, and holding a dialog grounded in an environment. Why the name Habitat? Because that's where AI agents live ? Habitat is a platform for embodied AI research that consists of Habitat-Sim, Habitat-API, and Habitat Challenge.
