Open-sourcing PyRobot to accelerate AI robotics research

Frameworks such as PyTorch have dramatically accelerated the progress of research in AI subfields such as computer vision and natural language processing. These tools provide a level of abstraction that makes it easier to build off of state-of-the-art systems, use shared libraries and tools, and optimize performance. To provide similar utility in AI robotics research, we’ve collaborated with researchers at Carnegie Mellon University to build PyRobot.
