6. Habitat-Sim Interactivity
Presenters: Alex Clegg, John Turner
Habitat-sim is interactive! Users can now add new objects to a static background scene, set object states, run dynamics simulation, and more with ease through the Simulator API. This use-case driven tutorial covers interactivity in Habitat-sim. Topics such as adding objects to a scene, kinematic object manipulation, dynamics simulation, collision checking, and configurable navigation constraints will be covered. We will demonstrate a number of example applications, including: generating data for physical reasoning tasks, adding objects to the scene via rejection sampling on the NavMesh, and an embodied object fetch task.
