We introduce Alexa Arena, a user-centric simulation platform for Embodied AI (EAI) research. Alexa Arena provides a variety of multi-room layouts and interactable objects, for the creation of human-robot interaction (HRI) missions. With user-friendly graphics and control mechanisms, Alexa Arena supports the development of gamified robotic tasks readily accessible to general human users, thus opening a new venue for high-efficiency HRI data collection and EAI system evaluation. Along with the platform, we introduce a dialog-enabled instruction-following benchmark and provide baseline results for it. We make Alexa Arena publicly available to facilitate research in building generalizable and assistive embodied agents.

翻译：我们提出Alexa Arena，这是一个面向用户的具身人工智能（EAI）仿真研究平台。Alexa Arena提供多种多房间布局和可交互物体，用于创建人机交互（HRI）任务。该平台具备用户友好的图形界面与控制机制，支持开发普通用户可轻松上手的游戏化机器人任务，从而为高效HRI数据收集与EAI系统评估开辟了新途径。配合该平台，我们推出了一项基于对话的指令跟随基准测试，并提供了其基线结果。我们将公开Alexa Arena，以促进通用化与辅助型具身智能体的研究。
