Simulation and Benchmarking Overview

RAI provides a comprehensive framework for simulation and benchmarking that consists of two main components:

RAI Sim

RAI Sim provides a simulator-agnostic interface that allows RAI to work with any simulation environment. It defines a standard interface (SimulationBridge) that abstracts the details of different simulators, enabling:

  • Consistent behavior across different simulation environments
  • Easy integration with new simulators
  • Seamless switching between simulation backends

The package also provides simulator bridges for concrete simulators, currently supporting only O3DE. For detailed information about the simulation interface, see RAI Sim Documentation.

RAI Bench

RAI Bench provides benchmarks with ready-to-use tasks and a framework to create your own tasks. It enables:

  • Define and execute tasks
  • Measure and evaluate performance
  • Collect and analyze results

For detailed information about the benchmarking framework, see RAI Bench Documentation.

Integration

RAI Sim and RAI Bench work together to provide benchmarks which utilize simulations for evaluation:

  1. Simulation Interface: RAI Sim provides the foundation with its simulator-agnostic interface
  2. Task Definition: RAI Bench defines tasks that can be executed in any supported simulator
  3. Execution: Tasks are executed through the simulation interface
  4. Evaluation: Results are collected and analyzed using the benchmarking framework

This architecture allows for:

  • Flexible task definition independent of the simulator
  • Consistent evaluation across different simulation environments
  • Easy addition of new simulators and tasks
  • Comprehensive performance analysis

Use Cases

The combined framework supports various use cases:

  1. Task Evaluation: Testing and comparing different approaches to the same task
  2. Performance Analysis: Measuring and analyzing system performance
  3. Development Testing: Validating new features in simulation
  4. Research: Conducting experiments in controlled environments
