Awesome EmbodiedAI (still in construct)

We maintain a curated list of Awesome Embodied AI works. Currently, we include simulators, tasks and datasets in Embodied AI field.

• Simulators help render images and simulate the behavior of agents, as if they are situated in an real world environment.
• Datasets provide training data (e.g. navigation instructions) and ground truths (e.g. navigation trajectories).

(Some simulator comes along with a dataset with the same name, so there might be duplicated names in different sections.)

Please feel free to pull requests or open an issue to add papers.

Tasks

Embodied task definitions.

REVERIE - requires an intelligent agent to correctly localize a remote target object (can not be observed at starting location) specified by a concise high-level natural language instruction.

VLN - requires an embodied agent to follow natural language instructions to navigate from a starting pose to a goal location.

VNLA - a grounded vision-language task where an agent with visual perception is guided via language to find objects in photorealistic indoor environments.

EQA - an agent is spawned at a random location in a 3D environment and asked a question. The agent must first intelligently navigate to explore the environment, gather necessary visual information through first-person (egocentric) vision, and then answer the question.

IQA - requires an agent to navigate around the scene, acquire visual understanding of scene elements, interact with objects (e.g. open refrigerators) and plan for a series of actions conditioned on the question.

TOUCHDOWN - requires an agent to first follow navigation instructions in a real-life visual urban environment, and then identify a location described in natural language to find a hidden object at the goal position.
