Visual Object Navigation on Loomo Robot

Framework to train visual navigation models in virtual environment and deploy model onto Loomo robot

Research Project at ICT-CAS

In this project, I built a framework to:

  1. Train visual navigation models in virtual environment
  2. Deploy model onto Loomo robot

The deployed end-to-end visual navigation model is modified from code provided by “Visual Semantic Navigation using Scene Priors (ICLR 2019)”.

The Loomo robot serves as the front end to collect visual data and receive control commands from the model running on a standalone PC.
