Dataset Information:

An optical motion capture system (Phase Space, San Leandro, CA – USA) with 19 active markers was used to collect a large number of static grasp positions. Subject AT(M,26) performed all the grasps of 57 imagined objects described in [2]. These data were acquired twice to define a set of 114 data. Data collection was approved by the University of Pisa Institutional Review Board. The dataset consists of a Matlab data matrix X, where each row describes the posture – using the above mentioned 15 DoFs kinematic model – corresponding to the grasping of the imagined objects. More information can be found on the report that accompanies the dataset.
