Kuopio Full-Body Dataset

Kuopio Full-Body Dataset

The Kuopio Full-Body Dataset includes 13 willing participants who visited the HUMEA laboratory at the University of Eastern Finland, Kuopio, Finland. The measurements were conducted between March and September 2025. The dataset contains 18 full-body, multi-modality motions measured with:

optical motion capture (Vicon Nexus)

inertial measurement units (Xsens IMU sensors)

electromyography sensors (Delsys EMG sensors)
