arXiv:2508.11485v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Accurate and reliable navigation is crucial for autonomous unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs). However, current UGV datasets fall short in meeting the demands for advancing navigation techniques due to limitations in sensor configuration, time synchronization, ground truth, and scenario diversity. Hence, we present i2Nav-Robot, a large-scale dataset designed for multi-sensor fusion navigation in indoor-outdoor environments. We integrate multi-modal navigation sensors, including the newest front-view and 360-degree solid-state LiDARs, 4-dimensional (4D) millimeter-wave (MMW) radar, stereo cameras, inertial measurement units (IMU), global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers, and wheeled odometers on an omnidirectional wheeled vehicle. Accurate timestamps are obtained through both online hardware synchronization and offline calibration for all sensors. The dataset includes ten large-scale sequences covering diverse UGV operating scenarios, such as outdoor streets and indoor parking lots, with a total length of about 17060 meters. High-rate, reliable, and fully covered ground truth, with centimeter-level positioning, is derived from post-processing integrated navigation methods using a high-grade IMU. The proposed i2Nav-Robot dataset is evaluated by 15 open-sourced multi-sensor fusion navigation methods, demonstrating its superior data quality and utility for advancing vehicular navigation research. The i2Nav-Robot dataset together with the documents can be accessed on GitHub (https://github.com/i2Nav-WHU/i2Nav-Robot).
