- The House Of inteRactions – Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence launched AI2-THOR in December 2017, open-sourced and customizable virtual training platform for artificial intelligence-powered robots using Unity graphical engine
- Room Simulations – First version offers 120 simulated environments of four rooms (i.e. bathroom, kitchen, living room and bedroom), populated with interactive objects (e.g. microwave, bathtubs, eggs, apples, and beds) and surfaces that can hold other objects (e.g. tabletops and toilet paper hangers)
- Robot Training Benefits – Lowers cost and saves time in training AI robots, giving them environment where they can freely learn like humans and conduct multiple simulations without damaging real-world objects
- Planned Platform Enhancements – Include collecting more data from adopters to be used in adding more interactive and realistic objects in platform, as well as creating collaborative environment where AI robots can cooperate with each other to complete tasks
