Abstract

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is leading an effort to develop performance standards for ur- ban search and rescue robots (US&R). An important com- ponent of developing performance standards for these robots is capturing ground truth data that represents the geometry of the robot operating environment. This paper describes two ground truth data collection efforts conducted in 2006 and 2008 at the Texas Engineering Extension Service Dis- aster City training facility in College Station, Texas. Sev- eral indoor and outdoor training scenarios were captured with 3D imaging systems and the data is now publicly avail- able through NIST to support research and development of robotic technologies for the US&R domain.
