Instructions (IMPORTANT)
Last updated: 2025-07-03
Please read the instructions below.
We receive a large number of emails from users who have tried to register but are unable to login. In almost all cases, this is because:
- they did not use an academic (.ac or .edu) email address, or
- we have not yet had time to approve their registration
Use an academic email address; all registrations have to be manually approved.
Please use an academic email address to register.
Academic email addresses contain ".ac" or ".edu".
The following are NOT academic email addresses:
- 163.com
- qq.com
- outlook.com
- gmail.com
- …etc.
Registrations from non-academic email addresses - like those listed above - will be classified as commercial enquiries and rejected.
All registrations have to be manually approved.
The registration process is partially automated, but registrations still have to be approved by a human being.
Please do not email the team to say:
I've registered but I can't login
…or:
I've reset my password but it still doesn't work
…if your account hasn't been authorised yet; you won't be able to login if a human being hasn't approved your registration.
This means if you register outside normal (UK) working hours, e.g.:
- in the evening
- at the weekend
- during a public holiday
…then there will be a delay before your account is authorised.
If you registered with an academic email address and you haven't received a response within three working days, please contact the RobotCar Dataset Team via robotcardataset@robots.ox.ac.uk.
