# ScanBot: Towards Intelligent Surface Scanning in Embodied Robotic Systems
<img src="Figures/introduction.png" alt="ScanBot" width="100%"/>
## 🧠 Dataset Summary
**ScanBot** is a dataset for instruction-conditioned, high-precision surface scanning with robots. Unlike existing datasets that focus on coarse tasks like grasping or navigation, ScanBot targets industrial laser scanning, where sub-millimeter accuracy and parameter stability are essential. It includes scanning trajectories across 12 objects and 6 task types, each driven by natural language instructions. The dataset provides synchronized RGB, depth, laser profiles, robot poses, and joint states.
## πŸ“¦ Use Cases
- Vision-Language Action (VLA)
- Instruction-Guided Surface Scanning
- 3D Surface Reconstruction
- Spatial Reasoning and Feature Localization
- Laser Profile Analysis for Inspection Tasks

## πŸ’¬ Task Levels
Each scan is driven by an instruction that falls under one of the following task categories:
| Task Type | Description |
|-----------|-------------|
| T1 | Surface Scan |
| T2 | Geometry Focus |
| T3 | Spatial Reference |
| T4 | Functional Target |
| T5 | Defect Inspection |
| T6 | Comparative Analysis |
