Koc-TUM Physical Human-X Interaction Repository

This repository contains real (i.e. not simulated) haptic interaction data collected from both Human-Human and Human-Robot dyads in joint object manipulation scenarios. Both scenarios were realized at the Chair for Information-oriented Control (S. Hirche), Technische Universität München and supported in part within the DFG excellence initiative research cluster “Cognition for Technical Systems – CoTeSys” (www.cotesys.org). The scenarios involve two agents carrying a large table on ball casters in a laboratory setting. Force and position information is recorded during interaction.

The dataset is collected as a result of joint research between Technische Universität München (Chair for Information-oriented Control) and Koc University (Robotics and Mechatronics Laboratory and Intelligent User Interfaces Laboratory). The copyright of the data remains with these institutions.

Koc-TUM pHRI (physical Human-Robot Interaction) Dataset

This set consists of data collected from 18 human-robot dyads. For each dyad, the data is recorded at 1 kHz, smoothed with low-pass filtering at 15 Hertz cutoff frequency, and stored as a Matlab struct.
