SPEAR: A Simulator for Photorealistic Embodied AI Research
Interactive simulators have become powerful tools for training embodied agents and generating synthetic visual data, but existing photorealistic simulators suffer from limited generality, programmability, and rendering speed. We address these limitations by introducing SPEAR: A Simulator for Photorealistic Embodied AI Research. At its core, SPEAR is a Python library that can connect to, and programmatically control, any Unreal Engine (UE) application via a modular plugin architecture. SPEAR expo
