In total, there were more than 4,000 individual driving sessions recorded, with majority of these drives under 10 minutes long, although there were also drives lasting more than an hour. | ![Histogram of Session Duration.png](https://cdn-uploads.huggingface.co/production/uploads/63be791624e75d1efdf6ce54/vXaVIWxqaBy2x6N9jJnrD.png) | |:--:| | *Histogram of Session Duration (minutes)* | These drives were done with FrodoBots in over 10 cities, registering close to 1,000 hours of footages, with Liuzhou being the city with longest cumulative hours of drives. | ![Cumulative sessions hours by city.png](https://cdn-uploads.huggingface.co/production/uploads/63be791624e75d1efdf6ce54/iAH1bhnc4olXhpbdJHDGv.png)| |:--:| | *Cumulative sessions hours by city* | Out of these 1,000 hours of recorded drive, roughly 312 hours have registered speed above 0 Km/Hr. Most of these other duration were either stationary or short pauses during a regular game drives. | ![Distribution of robot speed.png](https://cdn-uploads.huggingface.co/production/uploads/63be791624e75d1efdf6ce54/e_dh5xDedWbnhlkhJX6O9.png)| |:--:| | *Distribution of robot speed (excluding zero speed)* | ## About 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](https://www.youtube.com/@frodobots)) or gather digital items in the multiplayer arena mode (see [video](https://youtu.be/2E3lve-Xvak)). | ![Shopify_Madrid.gif](https://cdn-uploads.huggingface.co/production/uploads/63be791624e75d1efdf6ce54/EOm26XBMsdvq96qLZxbri.gif) | |:--:| | *Testing in Madrid* | | ![Shopify_London.gif](https://cdn-uploads.huggingface.co/production/uploads/63be791624e75d1efdf6ce54/LOuEmUpIJFpVbbd-vNI2u.gif) | |:--:| | *Testing in London* | | ![Shopify_Stockholm.gif](https://cdn-uploads.huggingface.co/production/uploads/63be791624e75d1efdf6ce54/qis6jk9p0jMmdwxS9HlGO.gif) | |:--:| | *Testing in Stockholm* | | ![Shopify_Wuhan.gif](https://cdn-uploads.huggingface.co/production/uploads/63be791624e75d1efdf6ce54/j96Zl9MxhNG3p3GorF0N3.gif) | |:--:| | *Testing in Wuhan* | | ![Shopify_Liuzhou.gif](https://cdn-uploads.huggingface.co/production/uploads/63be791624e75d1efdf6ce54/Dis2qJvK91C4ZH5vuzKhU.gif) | |:--:| | *Testing in Liuzhou* | | ![Shopify_Berlin.gif](https://cdn-uploads.huggingface.co/production/uploads/63be791624e75d1efdf6ce54/ewrQwk7qzgfge1aoIHEuV.gif) | |:--:| | *Testing in Berlin* | | ![Game controller view.gif](https://cdn-uploads.huggingface.co/production/uploads/63be791624e75d1efdf6ce54/tTLeGQdRHmp36zZ_9ECHV.gif) | |:--:| | *Game Controller + Browser = Control FrodoBots Anywhere* | | ![Chatting with people.gif](https://cdn-uploads.huggingface.co/production/uploads/63be791624e75d1efdf6ce54/M3xpC4UlbDRKj-2NhhaiR.gif) | |:--:| | *Chatting with locals via built-in microphone/speaker* | | ![Turning on the spot.gif](https://cdn-uploads.huggingface.co/production/uploads/63be791624e75d1efdf6ce54/dxDB6r5jFkUWK198Pt7yV.gif) | |:--:| | *Zero turning radius = Easy maneuvering* | | ![Night Driving.gif](https://cdn-uploads.huggingface.co/production/uploads/63be791624e75d1efdf6ce54/sDjijKb0YSUQoe4WWt89d.gif) | |:--:| | *Night driving test in Palo Alto* | | ![Driving through rain.gif](https://cdn-uploads.huggingface.co/production/uploads/63be791624e75d1efdf6ce54/EBGM9HicSYMFwVr8RVyiz.gif) | |:--:| | *Driving through rain* | | ![Road Crossing in University Ave Palo Alto.gif](https://cdn-uploads.huggingface.co/production/uploads/63be791624e75d1efdf6ce54/rulSOo_unmUEmG9Y_-_Wt.gif) | |:--:| | *Road crossing in Palo Alto* | ## Motivations for open-sourcing the dataset The team behind FrodoBots is focused on building an open-world video gaming experience using real-life robots (we call it "robotic gaming"). A by-product of gamers playing the game in real-life is the accompanying dataset that's generated. By sharing this dataset with the research community, we hope to see new innovations that can be tested (via our SDK) directly on our fleet of FrodoBots, and then ultimately deployed back into our production environment in order to create a more fun and safer game. ## **Helper code** We've provided a helpercode.ipynb file that will hopefully serve as a quick-start for researchers to play around with the dataset. ## **Contributions** The team at FrodoBots Lab created this dataset, including [Michael Cho](https://twitter.com/micoolcho), Sam Cho, Aaron Tung, Niresh Dravin & Jiamin Ho.
