HANDdata – first-person dataset including proximity and kinematics measurements from reach-to-grasp actions - Scientific Data
Summary
The CyberGlove was right-sided and included 18 strain gauges and data acquisition electronics which allowed tracking fingers’ joints angles with a resolution of less than one degree and a frequency of 90 Hz. With the aim of preliminarily assessing the proximity sensors capabilities for object recognition under ideal conditions, a bench data recording phase was performed, namely bench-static scenario (Fig. A horizontal support arm held the sensors at a fixed height of 21 cm, carefully positioned to avoid interfering with proximity data recording. The rest position was defined for all duration of the experiment as the upper arm adjacent to the body trunk, with elbow joint bent at 90 degrees, with the hand palm pointing left and perpendicular to the floor (see Fig. Participants were asked to stand in front of the support desk with feet aligned with mark #1 on the floor keeping the arm in rest position, exactly as the static phase.
