|
Version 2.4.0 update of the framework is here. All sim objects that aren't explicitly part of the environmental structure are now moveable with physics interactions. New object types have been added, and many new actions have been added. Please see the full 2.4.0 release notes here.
|
|

|
AI2-THOR now includes two frameworks: iTHOR and RoboTHOR. iTHOR includes interactive objects and scenes and RoboTHOR consists of simulated scenes and their corresponding real world counterparts.
|
|

|
Version 2.1.0 update of the framework has been added. New object types have been added. New Initialization actions have been added. Segmentation image generation has been improved in all scenes.
|
|
6/2019
|
Version 2.0 update of the AI2-THOR framework is now live! We have over quadrupled our action and object states, adding new actions that allow visually distinct state changes such as broken screens on electronics, shattered windows, breakable dishware, liquid fillable containers, cleanable dishware, messy and made beds and more! Along with these new state changes, objects have more physical properties like Temperature, Mass, and Salient Materials that are all reported back in object metadata. To combine all of these new properties and actions, new context sensitive interactions can now automatically change object states. This includes interactions like placing a dirty bowl under running sink water to clean it, placing a mug in a coffee machine to automatically fill it with coffee, putting out a lit candle by placing it in water, or placing an object over an active stove burner or in the fridge to change its temperature. Please see the full 2.0 release notes here to view details on all the changes and new features.

## 💻 Installation
#### With pip
```bash
pip install ai2thor
```
#### With conda
```bash
conda install -c conda-forge ai2thor
```
#### With Docker
[🐳 AI2-THOR Docker](https://github.com/allenai/ai2thor-docker) can be used, which adds the configuration for running a X server to be used by Unity 3D to render scenes.
#### Minimal Example
Once you've installed AI2-THOR, you can verify that everything is working correctly by running the following minimal example:
```python
from ai2thor.controller import Controller
controller = Controller(scene="FloorPlan10")
event = controller.step(action="RotateRight")
metadata = event.metadata
print(event, event.metadata.keys())
```
#### Requirements
| Component | Requirement |
| :-- | :-- |
| OS | Mac OS X 10.9+, Ubuntu 14.04+ |
| Graphics Card | DX9 (shader model 3.0) or DX11 with feature level 9.3 capabilities. |
| CPU | SSE2 instruction set support. |
| Python | Versions 3.5+ |
| Linux | X server with GLX module enabled |
