Collaborative Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (C-SLAM)
Decentralized Collaborative Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (C-SLAM) is essential to enable multi-robot missions in unknown environments without relying on pre-existing localization and communication infrastructure. This technology is anticipated to play a key role in the exploration of the Moon, Mars, and other planets. In this work, we introduce a novel dataset collected during C-SLAM experiments involving three robots operating on a Mars analogue terrain.

The burgeoning demand for collaborative robotic systems to execute complex tasks collectively has intensified the research community's focus on advancing simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) in a cooperative context. Despite this interest, the scalability and diversity of existing datasets for collaborative trajectories remain limited, especially in scenarios with constrained perspectives where the generalization capabilities of Collaborative SLAM (C-SLAM) are critical for the feasibility of multi-agent missions.
