Facebook Introduces New Platform For Building Robots

Facebook has introduced Droidlet, an open-source, modular, heterogeneous embodied agent architecture. The Droidlet platform can be used to build embodied agents using natural language processing, computer vision, and robotics. Now with Facebook Droidlet platform, researchers can build more intelligent real-world robots. In addition, it simplifies the integration of a wide range of state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms and robotics to facilitate rapid prototyping. A droid agent is considered to be made up of a collection of components, which are both heuristic and learned.
