Request for DBC/EDS Files and Dataset Usage Permission
Hello WIKA Team,
Thank you for sharing the Excavator Embodied Intelligence Dataset with the research community!
I am a student at Middle East Technical University (METU), Türkiye, and the founder of Poiesis, an early-stage project focused on AI-driven construction automation, autonomous excavators, and physics-based robotic simulations.
We are interested in using your dataset to develop and validate excavator digital twins and train AI models for autonomous excavation.
I have two questions:
- CAN Bus DBC/EDS Files
I noticed that the dataset contains recordings from four CAN buses, but I couldn't find the corresponding .dbc or .eds definition files.
Would it be possible to share:
DBC/EDS files for the four CAN buses, if available.
CAN message IDs, signal mappings, scaling factors, and units.
Documentation for interpreting hydraulic pressures, joint movements, engine parameters, and control signals.
These would be extremely helpful for accurately decoding the recordings and integrating them into our simulations.
- Dataset Licensing and Commercial Usage
The repository is labeled Apache-2.0, but the dataset description appears to emphasize scientific research and embodied AI applications.
Could you please clarify whether the license permits:
Training and fine-tuning AI models using the dataset.
Developing physics-based simulations and digital twins.
Using the resulting trained models and derived engineering parameters in future commercial products, including autonomous construction software.
If additional permission is required for commercial use, we would appreciate guidance on obtaining it.
We will respect all applicable licensing conditions and attribution requirements.
Thank you for your work and for making this dataset available. We look forward to your response!
Best regards,
