End-Effector Interaction Force for Continuum Robotic Arms

One of the key challenges in soft robotics is predicting and measuring contact forces during interactions with the environment. This dataset comprises a collection of contact force measurements obtained from a continuum robotic arm (called RoboArm) developed and tested at the ARAS Robotics Laboratory. The dataset is intended for use in training data-driven models for dynamics modeling, force estimation, contact detection, and force control. Additional details are provided in the instruction section, which is attached to the dataset.
