Utility functions for using AI2-THOR with Google Colab.

---

AI2-THOR Colab provides support for running AI2-THOR freely on the cloud using Google Colab. AI2-THOR is a near photo-realistic interactable framework for AI agents.

Templates

To get started, we recommend saving a copy of the AI2-THOR Colab Minimal Starter Template to your drive.

AI2-THOR Colab API Summary

Using Python's packaging manager, ai2thor_colab can be installed with

pip install ai2thor_colab

Start X Server

AI2-THOR requires an X Server to run on a Linux machine. It allows us to open a Unity window where we can render scenes and observe images. Colab runs Linux, but it does not start an X Server by default. Using ai2thor_colab.start_xserver(), we can install all required xserver dependencies and start it up:

import ai2thor_colab
ai2thor_colab.start_xserver()

Show Video

Given a sequence of image frames, we can merge them into a video and play it inside of Colab. For instance, we may RotateRight 10 times, and observe the frames after each action:

from a2thor.controller import Controller
controller = Controller()

frames = [controller.step("RotateRight").frame for _ in range(10)]
ai2thor_colab.show_video(frames, fps=5)
