Human-Machine Systems
This dataset is composed of 4-Dimensional time series files, representing the movements of all 38 participants during a novel control task. In the ‘5D_Data_Extractor.py’ file this can be set up to 6-Dimension, by the ‘fields_included’ variable. Two folders are included, one ready for preprocessing (‘subjects raw’) and the other already preprocessed ‘subjects preprocessed’.

In recent years, researchers have explored human body posture and motion to control robots in more natural ways. These interfaces require the ability to track the body movements of the user in three dimensions. Deploying motion capture systems for tracking tends to be costly and intrusive and requires a clear line of sight, making them ill adapted for applications that need fast deployment. In this article, we use consumer-grade armbands, capturing orientation information and muscle activity, to interact with a robotic system through a state machine controlled by a body motion classifier.
