# FrodoBots 1K Dataset

The **FrodoBots 1K Dataset** is a diverse collection of camera footage, GPS, IMU, audio recordings & control data collected from close to 1K hours of tele-operated sidewalk robot driving in 10+ cities.

If you're interested in testing out your models on your own FrodoBots, you may reserve unit(s) from our upcoming [**Kickstarter**] campaign (from US$699).

If you're interested in testing out your models on our existing fleet of FrodoBots (in various cities), you may reach out to Michael Cho for access to an SDK.

## What's FrodoBots?

[**FrodoBots**](https://www.frodobots.com/) is an open-world video driving game where gamers remotely control sidewalk robots to complete missions in different cities (here's a video about the [robot](https://youtu.be/WZy1u7ds1wQ)).

The game objective is to complete the pre-defined navigation missions in single-player mode (see [video]) or gather digital items in the multiplayer arena mode (see [video]). 

As gamers play the game, it generates a valuable and multifaceted robotics dataset, which we have chosen to open source for the benefit of researchers and enthusiasts alike. 

The Frodobots Gaming Dataset is a diverse collection of IMU, GPS, control data, camera footage, and audio recordings collected from sidewalk robots.



## **Dataset Overview**

1. **Control data**: This includes information about the robot's control inputs captured at a frequency of 10Hz. 

2. **GPS data**: This includes latitude, longitude, and timestamp information for each data point collected during the robot drives at a frequency of 1Hz. 

3. **IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) data**: This provides 9-degree of freedom sensor data, including acceleration (captured at 100Hz), gyroscope (captured at 1Hz), and compass ride information (captured at 1Hz), along with timestamp data. 

4. **Rear camera video**: This offers video footage captured by the robot's rear-facing camera at 20 frames per second (FPS) with a resolution of 800x600. 

5. **Front camera video**: This consists of video footage captured by the robot's front-facing camera at 20 FPS with a resolution of 480x480. 

6. **Microphone**: This includes audio recordings captured by the robot's microphone, with a sample rate of 48000Hz. 

7. **Speaker**: This incorporates audio recordings of the robot's speaker output, also with a sample rate of 48000Hz.


## **Usage**
