GrandTour: A legged robotics dataset in the wild for multi-modal perception and state estimation

GrandTour: A legged robotics dataset in the wild for multi-modal perception and state estimation

Summary

The GrandTour dataset addresses the lack of large-scale, real-world legged-robot data by providing time-synchronized sensor data from multiple modalities, including LiDAR, RGB cameras, depth sensors, and GNSS. It supports research in SLAM, state estimation, and multi-modal learning, with data available in ROS and HuggingFace formats.

Editorial context

The GrandTour dataset provides a comprehensive, multi-modal collection of sensor data from a quadruped robot in diverse real-world environments, supporting research in state estimation, SLAM, and sensor fusion. It is the largest open-access legged-robotics dataset to date, available in multiple formats and platforms.
