…and more. All our code is open-source under an MIT license. For more information, see the PDF download “BenchBot: Evaluating Robotics Research in Photorealistic 3D Simulation and on Real Robots.” A lot of moving parts isn’t necessarily a good thing if they complicate the user experience, so designing the user experience was also a central focus in developing BenchBot. There are three basic commands for controlling the system: benchbot_install - -help benchbot_run - -help benchbot_submit - -help The following command helps builds powerful evaluation workflows across multiple environments: benchbot_batch - -help Here’s a simple Python command for interacting with the…
