Habitat β embodied navigation π§ not trained yet
Train a PointGoal navigation agent in the Habitat 3D simulator.
Status β documented recipe (placeholder). A production-grade pipeline from Ropedia Academy for an advanced, GPU-heavy task. Everything below β base model, objective, dataset, config, the exact evaluation β is specified; the weights / metrics / figures land here automatically when you run the notebook on a GPU (one click below). Try the trained models live in the Ropedia demos Space.

Dataset
- Source: HM3D / MP3D / Gibson scenes (+ Habitat test assets).
Training config
GPU-scale β the notebook ships a demo profile (free Colab T4) and a full profile, with an exact Compute Β· storage Β· time table. Hyperparameters (optimizer, steps, batch, LoRA rank, β¦) are in the training cell.
Evaluation results
β³ Pending β run the notebook on a GPU to fill this in. This lab reports Success rate Β· SPL on a held-out split (see its Evaluate cell).
Inference example
No weights are published yet. After a GPU run, load the checkpoint/adapter the notebook saves (it also has a ready inference cell). Base model: From scratch (DD-PPO policy).
How to fill this repo
- Open the notebook in Colab β Runtime β GPU β Run all (runs the real pipeline).
- Run its Publish to the Hugging Face Hub step (or
HfApi().upload_folder(...)) β the checkpoint +metrics.json+ figures replace this placeholder.
- Train / run on a GPU Β· [ ] upload weights Β· [ ] add
metrics.jsonΒ· [ ] add figures Β· [ ] swap in the real results card
Limitations
Not yet trained β no numbers to report. The pipeline is GPU-heavy (see the compute table); on free Colab use the demo-scale settings. This is an educational, reproducible recipe, not a tuned production release.
