Rendering-Free Event Frame Simulation Accelerates Reinforcement Learning for Autonomous Robot Navigation

arXiv cs.RO

The authors propose an analytic event simulator that synthesizes event streams directly from scene geometry and ego-motion without image rendering, generating 64x64 event observations in just 17 microseconds on a single GPU, over 400 times faster than state-of-the-art rendering pipelines. Reinforcement learning training for an event-camera obstacle-avoidance policy based on this simulator converges in under 30 minutes, three orders of magnitude faster than training on rendered events, and transfers zero-shot to ray-traced event simulation in Isaac Sim.
