An Open Access Repository
Understanding how people move and interact with the environment, including cobots, is of utmost relevance for the scientific community, e.g. to devise control guidelines that allow a safe HRI or to prevent muscular skeletal problems due to non-ergonomic body configuration. To this aim, it is important to collect multimodal data that encompass muscular activation, joint angles, among the others. However, collecting this type of data is time consuming and often requires specific hardware and knowledge in different areas by the users.
The Human Data Corpus is an open access repository for sharing multimodal data regarding human motion. It was created within the European Project “Socio-Physical Interaction Skills for Cooperative Human-Robot Systems in Agile Production” (SOPHIA), with the goal of making publicly available data collections and analyses about human ergonomics.
This database also hosts the pre-existing Hand Corpus repository, which was developed as part of the European project The Hand Embodied and is supported by the IEEE RAS Technical Committee on Robot Hand Grasping and Manipulation.
Ergonomics Data
The Ergonomics section of Human Data Corpus is an open access repository for sharing and retrieving several types of data obtained for human movement monitoring during the execution of manual material handling activities. Up to now, the Ergonomics section of Human Data Corpus collects data about human kinematics, kinetics and electromyography acquired during the execution of manual material handling activities, also executed with the help of HRC technologies, to perform a biomechanical risk assessment.

Hand Data
The interest about human hand has gained an increasing attention in the last decades and the ‘’hand’’ research community has incredibly grown up to involve different groups, ranging from neuroscience to robotics. The HandCorpus is an open access repository for sharing and retrieving human and robot hand data. It was originally created within the European Project The Hand Embodied, with the objective of making data collections and analyses about human hand publicly available, and now it is sponsored and supported by many other important European Projects and international research groups.
