Drone Racing: High-Speed Flight Logs with MoCap Ground Truth

Tii-racing released this fully-annotated collection of high-speed flight data for autonomous and piloted quadrotors in early 2026. The data integrates visual-inertial odometry, motion capture ground truth, and inertial sensor readings for robotics research.

Use Cases

• Training visual-inertial odometry (VIO) algorithms using the provided inertial-data and vision streams
• Developing path-planning models for high-speed quadrotor navigation
• Benchmarking motion-capture-data against onboard sensor estimates for control system validation

Strengths

• Includes motion-capture-data for ground truth positioning
• Provides both autonomous and human-piloted flight data
• ROS2 compatible open-design format

Limitations

• Metadata does not specify total flight hours or record counts
• Lack of explicit column definitions in the primary description
