Human hand kinematic data during feeding and cooking tasks

摘要

This work presents a database of human hand kinematics containing data collected during the performance of a wide variety of activities of daily living involving feeding and cooking. The data were recorded using CyberGlove instrumented gloves on both hands measuring 18 degrees of freedom on each. A total of 20 subjects participated in each part of the experiment, and the objects and their arrangement were the same across subjects, although they performed the tasks in a natural non-directed way. This dataset contains a total of 1160 continuous calibrated recordings taken at 100 Hz during the performance of the tasks, with filtered signal. Statistical descriptive analyses from these data are presented. This database can be useful for machine learning purposes and prostheses control, as well as for the characterization of healthy human hand kinematics.
