Arm gesture dataset based on IMU data captured from the Technaid human-robot interaction system

Two files with a dataset of ten different/independent hand gestures are provided (seven static gestures and three dynamic gestures). The data were generated in a IMU system with five sensors worn in the right forearm, right arm, chest, left arm and left forearm of a human. The Technaid human-robot interaction system was used to captured the data. The file "datasetStaticGestures.mat" was used to train and test a classifier whose purpose is the recognition of static gestures. On the other hand, the file "datasetDynamicGestures.mat" was used to train and test a classifier whose purpose is the recognition of dynamic gestures. The latter file contains an extra class (gesture) which represents non-gestures.
