Mobile Robot Campus Dataset (MRCD)

The Mobile Robot Campus Dataset (MRCD) was recorded on the TU Hamburg campus using "Laura," a mobile robot platform equipped with high-end sensors including LiDAR, stereo cameras, IMU, and RTK-GNSS. The dataset captures over 1 hour of real-world driving across 2.9 km of diverse pedestrian environments featuring vegetation, cobblestones, elevation changes, and urban structures. With precise calibration, anonymized visual data, and high-frequency sensor streams, MRCD is ideal for benchmarking SLAM, navigation, and perception algorithms. Ground truth is provided through continuous-time LiDAR registration against a high-resolution 3D map of the environment.

The dataset was collected in late 2024 using the transport robot "Laura" used in the project TaBuLa-LOGplus. Further information will be provided in the corresponding paper.
