Description
AI2-THOR is an open-source platform designed to facilitate research in embodied AI by providing interactive environments. It offers a wide range of environments, including 120 rooms such as kitchens, bedrooms, and living rooms, and features over 2000 unique objects. Built on Unity 3D, AI2-THOR enables physical simulation for objects and scenes, allowing for realistic interactions. The platform supports multiple agent types, including humanoids and drones, and allows for multiple agents to operate within a single scene.

AI2-THOR includes objects with visual state changes, such as open/close and on/off, and supports dynamic lighting and object-specific reactions. The environments are navigable and include both physical and simulated counterparts for 14 apartments, which are built in a modular fashion using an asset library. This modularity allows for easy reconfiguration of physical apartments.
The platform is accessible to all, with simulation and real environments available for use. AI2-THOR can be installed in Python using pip or conda, and it supports headless rendering for AI applications that do not require on-screen views. It is compatible with macOS 10.9+ and Ubuntu 14.04+, requires Python 3.5+, and supports graphics cards with DX9 or DX11 capabilities.
AI2-THOR is particularly useful for researchers and developers working on AI applications that require realistic, interactive environments. It provides a robust framework for testing and developing AI models in a controlled, simulated setting, making it a valuable tool for advancing the field of embodied AI.
