The UAH Range-only Datasets

The range-only data presented is intended for use in WiFi range-only position estimation research. This data will be of particular use to anyone interested in exploring the use of WiFi range-only and useful for mobile robot localization. The data is gathered in indoor environments under real conditions (people wandering around, etc.).

Data Synopsis:

  • Each dataset consists of paths that traverse several meters.
  • Instrumented by autonomous robot with a laser scan matching for ground truth.
  • Dead reckoned path, collected wheel encoders.
  • Range measurements to the surveyed radio nodes.
  • Synchronized timestamps between the range, odometry and groundtruth data streams.
