+# TartanGround: A Large-Scale Dataset for Ground Robot Perception and Navigation
+
+![TartanGround Overview](https://tartanair.org/tartanground/assets/overview.jpg)
+
+## Dataset Description
+
+**TartanGround** is a large-scale, multi-modal dataset designed to advance the perception and autonomy of ground robots operating in diverse environments. Collected across 63 photorealistic simulation environments, it provides comprehensive data streams for various robotic tasks.
+
+## Key Features
+
+- **Environments**: 63 diverse simulation environments categorized into:
+  - Indoor
+  - Nature
+  - Rural
+  - Urban
+  - Industrial/Infrastructure
+  - Historical/Thematic
+
+- **Trajectories**: 878 trajectories captured across the environments.
+
+- **Samples**: Over 1.44 million samples.
+
+- **Robot Platforms**:
+  - Omnidirectional (`P0000`, `P0001`, ...)
+  - Differential Drive (`P1000`, `P1001`, ...)
+  - Quadrupedal (`P2000`, `P2001`, ...)
+
+- **Sensor Modalities**:
+  - RGB Stereo Camera Pairs (front, back, left, right, top, bottom)
+  - Depth Maps
+  - Semantic Segmentation
+  - Optical Flow
+  - Stereo Disparity
+  - LiDAR Point Clouds
+  - IMU Data
+  - Ground Truth Poses (6-DOF)
+  - Semantic Occupancy Maps (3D voxel grids)
+  - Proprioceptive Data (for quadruped trajectories)
+
+## Applications
+
+TartanGround supports a wide range of robotic perception and navigation tasks, including:
+
+- Semantic Occupancy Prediction
+- Open-Vocabulary Occupancy Prediction
+- Visual SLAM
+- Neural Scene Representation
+- Bird's-eye-view Prediction
+- Navigation and more
