About

Human Data Corpus is an open access repository for sharing data, tools and analyses about human motor monitoring for biomechanical risk assessment in manual material handling activities performed without and/or with the help of Human-Robot Collaborative (HRC) technologies.

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the biomechanical risk estimation of manual material handling activities utilizing instrumental-based approaches, and the ergonomics research community has significantly expanded to include a variety of disciplines, from robotics to rehabilitation. The Ergonomics section of Human Data Corpus is an open access repository for sharing and retrieving kinematic, kinetic and electromyographic signals and video recorded for human movement monitoring.

Human Data Corpus is inspired and connected with the Hand Corpus open access repository and it has been created within the Horizon 2020 European Project “SOPHIA – Socio-Physical Interaction Skills for Cooperative Human-Robot Systems in Agile Production” with the objective of making data collections and analyses about human movement behavior  in manual material handling activities publicly available. The repository is now supported by many other important national and European scientific societies and international research groups.

The Human Data Corpus’s mission is to further human movement-related research by serving as a resource for the scientific community to share multimodal data on human body motion.
