The Starlink Robot: A Platform and Dataset for Mobile Satellite Communication
- 用机器人实测星链在移动中的信号表现，同步采集位置、环境与通信数据。
- 覆盖匀速、变速及遮挡场景，首次系统记录动态环境下星链连接变化。
- 适合研究移动通信、自动驾驶和未来星链应用的科研人员使用。
将卫星通信集成到移动设备代表了连接方式的范式转变，但其在运动和环境遮挡下的性能特征仍不清晰。我们提出星链机器人（Starlink Robot），首个配备星链卫星互联网和完整传感器套件（包括朝上摄像头、激光雷达和惯性测量单元）的移动机器人平台，旨在系统研究移动过程中的卫星通信性能。多模态数据集同步记录了通信指标、运动动态、天空可见性及三维环境信息，涵盖匀速、变速度以及不同遮挡条件等多样场景。该平台与数据集使研究人员能够开发感知运动的通信协议，预测连接中断，并优化从智能手机到自动驾驶车辆的新兴移动应用中的卫星通信。本研究使用LEOViz进行实时卫星追踪与数据采集。星链机器人项目已开源：https://github.com/StarlinkRobot。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The integration of satellite communication into mobile devices represents a paradigm shift in connectivity, yet the performance characteristics under motion and environmental occlusion remain poorly understood. We present the Starlink Robot, the first mobile robotic platform equipped with Starlink satellite internet, comprehensive sensor suite including upward-facing camera, LiDAR, and IMU, designed to systematically study satellite communication performance during movement. Our multi-modal dataset captures synchronized communication metrics, motion dynamics, sky visibility, and 3D environmental context across diverse scenarios including steady-state motion, variable speeds, and different occlusion conditions. This platform and dataset enable researchers to develop motion-aware communication protocols, predict connectivity disruptions, and optimize satellite communication for emerging mobile applications from smartphones to autonomous vehicles. In this work, we use LEOViz for real-time satellite tracking and data collection. The starlink robot project is available at https://github.com/StarlinkRobot.
