AMP2026: A Multi-Platform Marine Robotics Dataset for Tracking and Mapping

Abstract Marine environments present significant challenges for perception and autonomy due to dynamic surfaces, limited visibility, and complex interactions between aerial, surface, and submerged sensing modalities. This paper introduces the Aerial-Marine Perception Dataset (AMP2026), a multi-platform marine robotics dataset collected across multiple field deployments designed to support research in two primary areas: multi-view tracking and marine environment mapping. The dataset includes synchronized data from aerial drones, boat-mounted cameras, and submerged robotic platforms, along with associated localization and telemetry information when available. The goal of this work is to provide a publicly available dataset enabling research in marine perception and multi-robot observation scenarios. This paper describes the data collection methodology, sensor configurations, dataset organization, and intended research tasks supported by the dataset.
