1. Introduction

1.1. Intro.

We propose a new modular framework for addressing the reality gap in the vision domain and navigating a robot via virtual signals. Our robot uses a single monocular camera for navigation, without assuming any usage of LIDAR, stereo camera, or odometry information from the robot.

1.2. Features

  • Automatically navigate the robot to a specific goal without any high-cost sensors.

  • Based on a single camera and use deep learning methods.

  • Use Sim-to-Real technology to eliminate the gap between virtual environment and real world.

  • Introduce Virtual guidance to entice the agent to move toward a specific direction.

  • Use Reinforcement learning to avoid obstacles while driving through crowds of people.
