The CoSTAR Block Stacking Dataset contains nearly 12,000 recordings of a robot attempting to stack colored blocks under variable conditions. The dataset includes calibrated RGB-D images, joint angles, and joint velocities with timestamps. There are a total of nearly 12,000 stacking attempts and over 2 million frames.

The dataset is designed as a benchmark for performing complex, multi-step manipulation tasks in challenging scenes and may be useful in the development of models for grasping and stacking.
