UTIL: An ultra-wideband time-difference-of-arrival indoor localization dataset
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Ultra-wideband (UWB) time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA)-based localization has emerged as a promising, low-cost, and scalable indoor localization solution, which is especially suited for multi-robot applications. However, there is a lack of public datasets to study and benchmark UWB TDOA positioning technology in cluttered indoor environments. We fill in this gap by presenting a comprehensive dataset using Decawave’s DWM1000 UWB modules. To characterize the UWB TDOA measurement performance under various line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) conditions, we collected signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), power difference values, and raw UWB TDOA measurements during the identification experiments. We also conducted a cumulative total of around 150 min of real-world flight experiments on a customized quadrotor platform to benchmark the UWB TDOA localization performance for mobile robots. The quadrotor was commanded to fly with an average speed of 0.45 m/s in both obstacle-free and cluttered environments using four different UWB anchor constellations. Raw sensor data including UWB TDOA, inertial measurement unit (IMU), optical flow, time-of-flight (ToF) laser altitude, and millimeter-accurate ground truth robot poses were collected during the flights. The dataset and development kit are available at https://utiasdsl.github.io/util-uwb-dataset/ .

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
