3. Habitat-sim Basics for Navigation
Presenters: Yili Zhao, Aaron Gokaslan and Alex Clegg
Habitat-sim is a highly efficient, photorealistic 3D simulator for embodied agents operating in the virtual environments. This tutorial helps you to learn our simulator for navigation through a series of coding examples. It demonstrates how to load a scene, set and configure an agent as well as its sensors (e.g., color, semantic, and depth sensors), instruct the agent to navigate and obtain the observations. It also introduces the NavMesh, an efficient mechanism to handle the collision constraints during the navigation. It walks you through the process of loading a NavMesh for the scene, recomputing it at runtime, and letting the agent take actions within the NavMesh.
