Abstract

The consideration of data set design, collection, and distribution methodology is becoming increasingly important as robots move out of fully controlled settings, such as assembly lines, into unstructured environments. Extensive knowledge bases and data sets will potentially offer a means of coping with the variability inherent in the real world. In this study, we introduce three new data sets related to mobile manipulation in human environments. The first set contains ...
