# Active Neural SLAM
This is a PyTorch implementation of the ICLR-20 paper:

### Overview:
The Active Neural SLAM model consists of three modules: a Global Policy, a Local Policy and a Neural SLAM Module.
As shown below, the Neural-SLAM module predicts a map and agent pose estimate from incoming RGB observations and
sensor readings. This map and pose are used by a Global policy to output a long-term goal, which is converted to
a short-term goal using an analytic path planner. A Local Policy is trained to navigate to this short-term goal.

## Installing Dependencies
We use earlier versions of [habitat-sim](https://github.com/facebookresearch/habitat-sim) and [habitat-api](https://github.com/facebookresearch/habitat-api). The specific commits are mentioned below.

Installing habitat-sim:
```
git clone https://github.com/facebookresearch/habitat-sim.git
cd habitat-sim; git checkout 9575dcd45fe6f55d2a44043833af08972a7895a9;
pip install -r requirements.txt;
python setup.py install --headless
python setup.py install # (for Mac OS)

```

Installing habitat-api:
```
git clone https://github.com/facebookresearch/habitat-api.git
cd habitat-api; git checkout b5f2b00a25627ecb52b43b13ea96b05998d9a121;
pip install -e .
```

Install pytorch from https://pytorch.org/ according to your system configuration. The code is tested on pytorch v1.2.0. If you are using conda:
```
conda install pytorch==1.2.0 torchvision cudatoolkit=10.0 -c pytorch #(Linux with GPU)
conda install pytorch==1.2.0 torchvision==0.4.0 -c pytorch #(Mac OS)
```

## Setup
Clone the repository and install other requirements:
```
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/devendrachaplot/Neural-SLAM
cd Neural-SLAM;
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

The code requires datasets in a `data` folder in the following format (same as habitat-api):
```
Neural-SLAM/
data/
scene_datasets/
gibson/
Adrian.glb
Adrian.navmesh
...
datasets/
pointnav/
gibson/
v1/
train/
val/
...
```
Please download the data using the instructions here: https://github.com/facebookresearch/habitat-api#data

To verify that dependencies are correctly installed and data is setup correctly, run:
```
python main.py -n1 --auto_gpu_config 0 --split val
```

## Usage

### Training:
For training the complete Active Neural SLAM model on the Exploration task:
```
python main.py
```

### Downloading pre-trained models
```
mkdir pretrained_models;
wget --no-check-certificate 'https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1UK2hT0GWzoTaVR5lAI6i8o27tqEmYeyY' -O pretrained_models/model_best.global;
wget --no-check-certificate 'https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1A1s_HNnbpvdYBUAiw2y1JmmELRLfAJb8' -O pretrained_models/model_best.local;
wget --no-check-certificate 'https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1o5OG7DIUKZyvi5stozSqRpAEae1F2BmX' -O pretrained_models/model_best.slam;
```

### For evaluation:
For evaluating the pre-trained models:
```
python main.py --split val --eval 1 --train_global 0 --train_local 0 --train_slam 0 \
--load_global pretrained_models/model_best.global \
--load_local pretrained_models/model_best.local \
--load_slam pretrained_models/model_best.slam
```

For visualizing the agent observations and predicted map and pose, add `-v 1` as an argument to the above
