We introduce Alexa Arena, a user-centric simulation platform to facilitate research in building assistive conversational embodied agents. Alexa Arena features multi-room layouts and an abundance of interactable objects. With user-friendly graphics and control mechanisms, the platform supports the development of gamified robotic tasks readily accessible to general human users, allowing high-efficiency data collection and EAI system evaluation. Along with the platform, we introduce a dialog-enabled task completion benchmark with online human evaluations.
