EMG dataset for gesture recognition with arm translation

Myoelectric control has emerged as a promising approach for a wide range
of applications, including controlling limb prosthetics, teleoperating
robots, and enabling immersive interactions in the metaverse. However, the
accuracy and robustness of myoelectric control systems are often affected
by various factors, including muscle fatigue, perspiration, drifts in
electrode positions, and changes in arm position. The latter has received
less attention despite its significant impact on signal quality and
decoding accuracy. To address this gap, we present GREAT, a novel dataset
of surface electromyographic (EMG) signals captured from multiple arm
positions. This dataset, comprising EMG and hand kinematics data from 8
participants performing 6 different hand gestures, provides a
comprehensive resource for investigating position-invariant myoelectric
control decoding algorithms. We envision this dataset to serve as a
valuable resource for both training and benchmarking arm
position-invariant myoelectric control algorithms. Additionally, to
further expand the publicly available data capturing the variability of
EMG signals across diverse arm positions, we propose a novel data
acquisition protocol that can be utilized for future data collection.
