Real-Robot Driving Sessions: the 18 minutes that trained our 101-parameter driver

Three real driving sessions of our tracked test robot, recorded at 20 Hz on the test floor.

These are the exact sessions that trained NCDTech/real-robot-driving-mlp-numpy, the weight file shown running in this video.

We can prove the lineage.

Our desktop studio logs every training run, and the entry for that weight file reads:

2026-04-24 16:14:25 | build_dataset 시작: 3 파일 —
  session_20260417_165126.bin, session_20260417_154754.bin, session_20260421_142743.bin

Those three files are this dataset.

What one session looks like

Files

session	samples	duration	driving mode mix
`session_20260417_154754`	7,088	372.7 s	AUTO 16 % · MANUAL 53 %
`session_20260417_165126`	6,080	320.5 s	AUTO 47 % · MANUAL 27 %
`session_20260421_142743`	3,760	383.2 s	MANUAL 75 %
total	16,928	~18 min

Each session ships in two forms.

.csv is the accessible form: 71 columns, one row per 50 ms sample.

.bin is the untouched original written by the robot's recorder (parsed with zero dropped chunks and zero truncated bytes).

Columns (CSV)

group	columns
meta	`t_s` (seconds from session start), `sequence`, `ctrl_source` (`IDLE` / `AUTO` / `MANUAL`)
ultrasonic	`ultra_{front,left,right,back,grip}_mm` + per-channel `_valid` flags
pose	`heading_deg`, `pitch_deg`, `roll_deg`, `pos_x_mm`, `pos_y_mm` (dead-reckoning)
motors	`motor_{left,right,arm,grip}_pwm` (-255..255), `current_{left,right,arm,grip}_ma`
IMU	`imu0..imu5` × `ax, ay, az, gx, gy, gz` (36 raw int16 channels, 3 MCUs × 2 IMUs)
camera	`cam_fps`, `cam_wifi_rssi`, `cam_jpeg_kb`
audio	`audio_level_db`, `audio_peak_freq_hz`
environment	`env_lux_0..2`, `env_co2_ppm`, `env_temp_c`, `env_humidity_rh`

The model used only six features from all of this: front/left/right distances plus their frame-to-frame deltas.

Everything else is here because the robot logged it anyway, and multimodal robot telemetry is rare at this size.

Motor currents, 36 IMU channels, and environment sensors at a fixed 20 Hz: this is the same recording discipline we now focus on the predictive maintenance (PdM) of aging mechanical equipment.

Load it

import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv("session_20260417_165126.csv")
auto = df[df.ctrl_source == "AUTO"]
print(len(df), "samples,", len(auto), "in AUTO mode")

Honest notes

Total driving time is about 18 minutes.

That is genuinely small, and it shows in the model: STOP and BACK actions barely occur in these sessions, so the trained network scored 0 % on those classes.

We publish the data anyway, because this is what real early-stage robot data looks like, and because exactly this gap is why our current systems run a class-distribution check inside self QA/QC on every stage.

You can watch that self QA/QC system working, and chatting about its own reports through an on-premise LLM, in our 22-minute demo video.

pos_x_mm / pos_y_mm are dead-reckoning estimates and drift over time.

IMU channels are raw int16 readings, unscaled.

ultra_front_mm comes from the hand-mounted sensor: on this robot the front ultrasonic rides on the hand (per our 2026-03-31 sensor mapping sheet), and ultra_grip_mm is a spare channel.

궤도 시험 로봇의 실주행 세션 3개(20 Hz, 총 16,928샘플, 약 18분)입니다.

real-robot-driving-mlp-numpy 모델을 학습시킨 바로 그 파일들이며, 계보는 학습 당시 앱 로그(위 인용)로 증명됩니다.

각 세션은 원본 .bin(기록기 출력 그대로)과 변환 .csv(71컬럼: 초음파 5방+IMU 36채널+모터 PWM/전류+자세+카메라+오디오+환경) 두 형태로 제공됩니다.

모터 전류·IMU 36채널·환경 센서를 고정 20 Hz로 기록하는 이 계측 규율을, 지금은 노후 기계식 설비의 예지보전(PdM)에 집중해 쓰고 있습니다.

정직 고지: 총 18분짜리 작은 데이터라 정지/후진 동작이 거의 없고, 그래서 학습된 모델의 해당 클래스 정확도가 0%였습니다.

이런 구멍을 잡으려고 지금의 저희 시스템은 모든 단계에 클래스 분포 검사를 포함한 셀프 QA/QC를 심었습니다.

그 셀프 QA/QC가 실제로 돌아가며 온프레미스 LLM과 대화하는 모습은 22분 데모 영상에서 볼 수 있습니다.
