Hohoo AI Journey
Virtual Embodied Lab Start embodied AI experiments without a physical robot. Build a verifiable software path, then explore simulation, data and policies.
No robot or dedicated hardware purchases to get started. Choose environments by learning stage rather than installing every simulator. Check hardware and compute requirements before each experiment.
VL01 · MuJoCo ↓ VL02 · Gazebo + ROS2 ↓ VL03 · ManiSkill ↓ VL04 · Isaac Sim / Isaac Lab ↓ Simulation engine MuJoCo Robot Virtual arm and gripper; model to be selected Environment Tabletop, red cube and blue box; scene to be built Main project hohoo-embodied-agent → Linked milestones M4 · ROS2 → virtual robot M5 · Virtual pick & place Question to validate Can the arm move the red cube into the blue box while recording control steps and failure causes?
Experiment steps (planned) Find cube → Move end effector → Grasp → Move → Place Technology & skills Not executed yet. Results, code, videos and datasets will be added after real validation.
Simulation engine Gazebo + ROS2 Robot Virtual robot; base or arm to be selected Environment Virtual camera, IMU, LiDAR and joint state; configuration to be validated Main project hohoo-embodied-agent → Linked milestones M3 · Agent → ROS2 M4 · ROS2 → virtual robot M8 · Virtual vision & VLM Question to validate Can virtual sensors publish observations through ROS2 and connect perception, planning and control nodes?
Experiment steps (planned) Virtual sensor → ROS2 → Perception node → Planner node → Controller → Virtual robot Technology & skills Not executed yet. Results, code, videos and datasets will be added after real validation.
Simulation engine ManiSkill Robot Virtual manipulation arm; model to be selected Environment Candidate tasks: PickCube and pick & place; not run yet Main project hohoo-embodied-agent → Linked milestones M6 · Robot data platform M9 · Robot learning M10 · VLA virtual robot Question to validate Can a manipulation policy learn from robot data and be evaluated for actions and failures in virtual tasks?
Experiment steps (planned) Observation → Policy → Action → Environment Technology & skills Not executed yet. Results, code, videos and datasets will be added after real validation.
Simulation engine Isaac Sim / Isaac Lab Robot Arms, mobile robots or humanoids; candidate directions only Environment Isaac Sim / Isaac Lab; not installed, hardware and compute to be assessed Main project hohoo-embodied-agent → Linked milestones M10 · VLA virtual robot Question to validate Later, study synthetic data, parallel simulation and domain randomization to evaluate policy transfer limits.
A future roadmap node only. Isaac is not installed or integrated in this sprint.
