Hey this looks great! There's so much work to do on robot navigation and I think these kinds of environments are critical to training systems that will work in the real world.

"Habitat-Sim with multiple processes renders detailed scenes at 10,000 frames per second (FPS) on a single GPU, compared with a typical rate of 100 FPS on other simulators."

This is a pretty ridiculous speedup. Anyone know what they did to achieve it?
