Abstract 

The dataset contains motion capture data of the human hand of 20 healthy subjects acquired using two different motion capture technology (wearable IMU and camera-based). This database provides an opportunity to expand the fields of research involving the hands or their range of mobility. Indeed, using this database to train AI's net to recognise gestures/tasks is an excellent beginning point for expanding the field of human-robot collaboration.

Motion Capture Technologies:

  • IMU-based Data Glove - Tyndall Smart Glove (Tyndall National Institute, Ireland)
  • Optitrack cameras - 10 PrimaX13 + 2 PrimeX41 camera system from Optitrack (NaturalPoint, Inc., OR, US)

File naming conventions:

The files are arranged in folders. Each folder corresponds to a study participant.

A coded file labelling system has been implemented that allows for unique identification of each datum.

The elements that compose each label are:

  •  3-digit numeric participant identifier (ID)
  •  3 letters which refer to the motion capture technology used (GLV or OPT)
  •  3 letters which refer to task performed (TAX or IND),
  •  2-digit numeric for the type of task (if the file refer to the taxonomy tasks, the number correspond with the Cutkosky taxonomy task)
  •  2-digit numeric for the number of repetition (starting form 00).

For instance, in the label 000GLVTAX0201: 000 identifies the first participant, GLV stands for data glove, TAX refers to the Cutkosky's taxonomy, 02 refers to the second grasp of the Cutkosky's taxonomy, 01 means that this is the second repetition.

The complete list of abbreviations used for the labelling is shown in the following Table:
