BigAnt v6 robot motion tracking data - RAW dataset

Creator:: BIRDS Lab, U. Michigan
Description:: These data were produced in an attempt to characterize the turning and steering behaviors of 1-DoF multi-legged (hexpedal in this case) robots. Such turning behaviors require sliding contact points. The .tar file contains multiple trials in .csv.gz format, with names following an informative naming convention documented in the README. Additional metadata for the trials is given in the metadata.py file in both machine and human readable form.
Keyword:: robot, multilegged, and steering

Description:: These data were produced in an attempt to characterize the turning and steering behaviors of 1-DoF multi-legged (hexpedal in this case) robots. Such turning behaviors require sliding contact points. All the data is provided in a single, large .csv.gz file (416256 rows); additional details and example code in the README

Description:: These data were produced for ARO W911NF-14-1-0573 "Morphologically Modulated Dynamics" and ARO MURI W911NF-17-1-0306 "From Data-Driven Operator Theoretic Schemes to Prediction, Inference, and Control of Systems" to explore the trade-offs between various oscillator coupling models in modeling multilegged locomotion of Multipod robots with 6,8,10 and 12 legs. The data is stored in .csv.gz files, one file for each robot morphology. Details of how to run the processing code on the raw dataset to generate the processed files found here, as well as example code for loading the data found here, are in the README. This dataset is self contained and can be used on its own without running any of the provided code.
