Towards Modular Testbed for Tendon-Driven Soft Robots - RAAD 2025 - Dataset

This dataset, provided by the ETF Robotics laboratory (School of Electrical Engineering, University of Belgrade, Serbia), is derived from the data of the open-source soft robotics platform ETF Soft Robot. ETF Soft Robot is a fully open-source and modular test bed for experimenting with different control strategies and geometries of soft-bodied robots.  The main goal of the project is to make an accessible platform for soft robotics that is easy to recreate and also offer standardized setups and datasets for those setups, so that researchers can more easily evaluate their results. All of the files necessary to recreate the project and datasets, which will be updated on a continuous basis as the work progresses, can be found on the GitHub page of the project: https://github.com/MilosRasic98/SoftRobotETF This dataset consists of CSV directories containing data recorded during various experiments, which are saved with a descriptive file name. All experiments were conducted on fully soft-bodied robots with force-controlled tendon-driven actuators. The IMU was fixed to the tip of the robot.  ACKNOWLEDGMENT This research was partly supported by the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement 101070421 MUSAE.
