A Near Photo-Realistic Interactable Framework for Embodied AI Agents

GitHub release Documentation License Downloads

🏑 Environments

iTHOR ManipulaTHOR RoboTHOR
A high-level interaction framework that facilitates research in embodied common sense reasoning. A mid-level interaction framework that facilitates visual manipulation of objects using a robotic arm. A framework that facilitates Sim2Real research with a collection of simulated scene counterparts in the physical world.

🌍 Features

🏑 Scenes. 200+ custom built high-quality scenes. The scenes can be explored on our demo page. We are working on rapidly expanding the number of available scenes and domain randomization within each scene.

πŸͺ‘ Objects. 2600+ custom designed household objects across 100+ object types. Each object is heavily annotated, which allows for near-realistic physics interaction.

πŸ€– Agent Types. Multi-agent support, a custom built LoCoBot agent, a Kinova 3 inspired robotic manipulation agent, and a drone agent.

🦾 Actions. 200+ actions that facilitate research in a wide range of interaction and navigation based embodied AI tasks.

πŸ–Ό Images. First-class support for many image modalities and camera adjustments. Some modalities include ego-centric RGB images, instance segmentation, semantic segmentation, depth frames, normals frames, top-down frames, orthographic projections, and third-person camera frames. User's can also easily change camera properties, such as the size of the images and field of view.

πŸ—Ί Metadata. After each step in the environment, there is a large amount of sensory data available about the state of the environment. This information can be used to build highly complex custom reward functions.

πŸ“° Latest Announcements

Date Announcement
5/2021
RandomizeMaterials.mp4
RandomizeMaterials is now supported! It enables a massive amount of realistic looking domain randomization within each scene. Try it out on the demo
4/2021 We are excited to release ManipulaTHOR, an environment within the AI2-THOR framework that facilitates visual manipulation of objects using a robotic arm. Please see the full 3.0.0 release notes here.
4/2021
iTHOR-RandomizeLighting.mp4
RoboTHOR-RandomizeLighting.mp4
RandomizeLighting is now supported! It includes many tunable parameters to allow for vast control over its effects. Try it out on the demo!

2/2021 We are excited to host the AI2-THOR Rearrangement Challenge, RoboTHOR ObjectNav Challenge, and ALFRED Challenge, held in conjunction with the Embodied AI Workshop at CVPR 2021.
2/2021 AI2-THOR v2.7.0 announces several massive speedups to AI2-THOR! Read more about it here.
6/2020 We've released 🐳 AI2-THOR Docker a mini-framework to simplify running AI2-THOR in Docker.
4/2020 Version 2.4.0 update of the framework is here. All sim objects that aren't explicitly part of the environmental structure are now moveable with physics interactions. New object types have been added, and many new actions have been added. Please see the full 2.4.0 release notes here.
2/2020 AI2-THOR now includes two frameworks: iTHOR and RoboTHOR. iTHOR includes interactive objects and scenes and RoboTHOR consists of simulated scenes and their corresponding real world counterparts.
9/2019 Version 2.1.0 update of the framework has been added. New object types have been added. New Initialization actions have been added. Segmentation image generation has been improved in all scenes.
6/2019 Version 2.0 update of the AI2-THOR framework is now live! We have over quadrupled our action and object states, adding new actions that allow visually distinct state changes such as broken screens on electronics, shattered windows, breakable dishware, liquid fillable containers, cleanable dishware, messy and made beds and more! Along with these new state changes, objects have more physical properties like Temperature, Mass, and Salient Materials that are all reported back in object metadata. To combine all of these new properties and actions, new context sensitive interactions can now automatically change object states. This includes interactions like placing a dirty bowl under running sink water to clean it, placing a mug in a coffee machine to automatically fill it with coffee, putting out a lit candle by placing it in water, or placing an object over an active stove burner or in the fridge to change its temperature. Please see the full 2.0 release notes here to view details on all the changes and new features.

πŸ’» Installation

With Google Colab

AI2-THOR Colab can be used to run AI2-THOR freely in the cloud with Google Colab. Running AI2-THOR in Google Colab makes it extremely easy to explore functionality without having to set AI2-THOR up locally.

With pip

pip install ai2thor

With conda

conda install -c conda-forge ai2thor

With Docker

🐳 AI2-THOR Docker can be used, which adds the configuration for running a X server to be used by Unity 3D to render scenes.

Minimal Example

Once you've installed AI2-THOR, you can verify that everything is working correctly by running the following minimal example:

from ai2thor.controller import Controller
controller = Controller(scene="FloorPlan10")
event = controller.step(action="RotateRight")
metadata = event.metadata
print(event, event.metadata.keys())

Requirements

Component Requirement
OS Mac OS X 10.9+, Ubuntu 14.04+
Graphics Card DX9 (shader model 3.0) or DX11 with feature level 9.3 capabilities.
CPU SSE2 instruction set support.
Python Versions 3.5+
Linux X server with GLX module enabled
