What's in the zip-files?

Each zip-file is associated with one experiment - see table, above.
Each zip-file holds
  • a folder with the holodeck data called HolodeckOutput (the reference system data) in both raw and synchronized versions (naming!)
  • a file called IMURaw.txt - the raw IMU data
  • a folder with the outputs of our EKF Nav Shoe type odometry including a ZUPT file
  • two folders with screenshots and documentation on the experiment
