The Neverwhere Visual Parkour Benchmark Suite
State-of-the-art visual locomotion controllers are increasingly capable at handling complex visual environments, making evaluating their real-world performance before deployment increasingly difficult. This work intends to narrow this train/evaluation gap by developing a collection of hyper-photo-realistic, closed-loop evaluation environments - The Neverwhere Benchmark Suite - comprised of over sixty 3D Gaussian Splatting reconstructions of urban indoor and outdoor scenes. Our goal is to encourage large-scale and reproducible robot evaluation by making it easier to create and integrate Gaussian splats-based reconstructions into simulated continuous testing setups. We also underscore the p...
