Dataset Card for HUVER

The dataset is comprised of a 6,051 unique UAV configurations, where each configuration is described by multiple data for- mats, including a grammar string, an RGB image, and an GLB file. Complementing these representation modalities, we also provide a configuration-based description, i.e., a text descriptor describing the features of each UAV using natural language

Uses

Direct Use

• The multimodal UAV dataset presented in this paper features a variety of UAV representations, including 3D models in GLB format, grammar representations, text descriptions, and parametric data. This diversity facilitates the development of surrogate models that utilize different UAV representations to predict performance more accurately.
• This multifaceted UAV dataset supports the creation of diverse UAV designs through various generative models. Models like GANs, LSTMs, transformers, and GNNs can generate new UAV images and designs in different formats, including GLB. The inclusion of negative examples in the dataset helps identify and correct potential design flaws early, enhancing model refinement and ensuring the feasibility and safety of the UAV designs.

Out-of-Scope Use

This dataset is not appropriate for detailed design of flight ready systems.

    'Design Descriptor': <This drone is made up of 1 part and has 4 engines that help it move. It also has 0 wings for better flying. It has 4 links that connect everything together securely. The drone weighs 23.2615285432816 pounds in total and can lift itself and more, thanks to its strong thrust of 82.500025177002 pounds.>, 
    'Operations Descriptor': <This drone configuration has a feasible flying range of 0.0-0.0 miles, evaluated over the payload range of 0-0 pounds. This configuration has a velocity range of 0.06352621-0.06352621 mph. It is observed when payload increases, the flying range and velocity decrease. The drones achieve highest values of velocity and range for the lowest payloads. It can be interpreted from the data that the drone can fly as far as 0.0 miles, and can reach maximum speeds up to 0.06352621 mph. This means that while the drone does well in many situations, how far and fast it can fly can vary with how much payload it carries. This drone costs around $1877.19, adding up costs of all the components used to achieve this configuration.>, 
    'Performance': <Feasibilty": "CouldNotStabilize", "Flying Range": 0.0, "Payload Capacity (lb)": 0, "Velocity (mph)": 0.06352621, "Performance Descriptor": "This drone could not hover. The drone for a payload of 0 pounds, could not accomplish a successful run, the reason being either the motors could not provide enough lift or the drone did not balance properly after flight".>
