## What it is
HomeRobot is an open-source robotics stack from Meta AI for mobile manipulation tasks on low-cost hardware like the Hello Robot Stretch. It supports the Open Vocabulary Mobile Manipulation (OVMM) task, providing simulation, perception integrations, and real-robot control tooling.

## Use cases
- run open vocabulary mobile manipulation experiments on a Stretch robot
- simulate pick-and-place tasks in Habitat before deploying to hardware
- participate in the HomeRobot OVMM challenge
- explore unknown environments and find objects with a mobile manipulator
- integrate perception models like Detic or Grounded-SAM with a robot stack
- research embodied AI navigation and manipulation policies

## When to choose
- you have or plan to buy a Hello Robot Stretch for manipulation research
- you need a benchmarked baseline for OVMM-style tasks
- you want simulation-to-real workflows for mobile manipulation
- you are entering the CVPR HomeRobot challenge

## When to avoid
- you need industrial-grade or safety-certified robot software
- you work with manipulators other than Stretch without porting effort
- you need a production robotics deployment rather than a research stack
- you lack a GPU workstation alongside the robot

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: robotics, machine-learning, simulation, computer-vision, agent-framework
- domain: robotics, machine-learning, computer-vision, artificial-intelligence
- platform: python
- tags: mobile-manipulation, ovmm, habitat, ros, stretch-robot, embodied-ai, open-vocabulary, facebook-research, research, linux
