If we can train a virtual bot to locate keys in a virtual home, a robot should eventually be able to do that in reality.
Replica dataset provides the (hyper)realism.
Habitat platform provides the (extremely fast) sim. https://t.co/hpOPZDafbb
New data sets out of Facebook Reality Labs today that redefine the standard for realism and quality in 3D reconstructions of real spaces — all part of our continued research for next-gen VR and AR experiences.https://t.co/vtiYkNWIPO

We’re open sourcing AI Habitat, a powerful new simulation platform for training agents in hyperdetailed, photorealistic 3D reconstructions of physical environments. We hope this research milestone will unify & accelerate the promising field of Embodied AI. https://t.co/kQlRuksWGP pic.twitter.com/rpxebhJBAq

AR and AI could be used to figure out where you have lost your keys in your apartment – even though it is the first time the AI is “seeing” your apartment. It’s incredibly useful stuff for everyday life.https://t.co/Pn23YIjoVc

The textures and reflections in these room reconstructions are insane. If it wasn't for the missing chair/table legs I'm not sure if I'd know which was digital and which was realhttps://t.co/cFU7BubbNR pic.twitter.com/v0v31ASIE1
