The GREENBOT dataset: Multimodal mobile robotic dataset for a typical Mediterranean greenhouse

This paper introduces an innovative dataset specifically crafted for challenging agricultural settings (a greenhouse), where achieving precise localization is of paramount importance. The dataset was gathered using a mobile platform equipped with a set of sensors typically used in mobile robots, as it was moved through all the corridors of a typical Mediterranean greenhouse featuring tomato crop. This dataset presents a unique opportunity for constructing detailed 3D models of plants in such indoor-like space, with potential applications such as robotized spraying. For the first time to the best knowledge of authors, a dataset suitable to put at test Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) methods is presented in a greenhouse environment, which poses unique challenges. The suitability of the dataset for such goal is assessed by presenting SLAM results with state-of-the-art algorithms. The dataset is available online in .
