In support of refining Amazon’s home assistant products, Amazon Lab126 is developing a simulator that allows rapid generation of human movement scenarios in a common household environment. The simulator becomes an alternative to the costly and time consuming real-life tests needed to produce the training data for the home assistant product’s algorithms. This project aims to provide an integrated and user-friendly interface to the simulator, allowing rapid generation of possible human movement patterns in a home environment.
