Social RoboticsMeta releases Habitat 3.0 for training robots to work alongside people
The simulator adds humanoid avatars and lets real people control them so robots can learn to collaborate on household tasks.
Meta's FAIR team released Habitat 3.0, a simulation platform where robots and humanoid avatars share homes and cooperate on tasks such as tidying a room. People can join through a keyboard, mouse or VR to test robot behaviour with real human partners. Meta also released a dataset of 211 artist-made 3D scenes and a low-cost HomeRobot platform for moving trained models onto physical machines. Simulated human-robot collaboration at scale offers a faster and safer way to teach robots socially aware behaviour.
