Waterloo 40K naturalistic grasp demonstrations

Robotic grasp demonstration and grasp planning

Roughly 40,000 successful human-controlled ReFlex gripper grasps on 109 rigid objects, with pre-grasp RGB/depth images, 6DOF trajectories and finger positions.

Ground truth

Reference scope, method, rate, coverage, and provenance.

Measured using equipment independent of the platform’s normal onboard sensor pipeline.
Derived
Computed primarily from the dataset’s own recorded sensors.

Reference notes
Gripper reference trajectory uses two handle-mounted tools to reduce occlusion. XYZ offsets are table-centered in mm; orientation is axis-angle. Object-relative analysis and UR5 replay occur only in some cases and are not asserted as released reference streams.

Calibration data

Calibration reproducibility details are not reported.

Notes

Each trial saves home finger servo positions. Home alignment is performed visually and repeated after mechanical repairs. Tool-to-gripper transforms are measured using a temporarily mounted reference tool; camera calibration release is not established.

Known or intentional limitations

Reported constraints and characteristics to check before using the dataset.

Failed grasps are excluded, so the collection does not provide failed examples.

Rigid-object collection excludes unsuitable-size and non-rigid YCB objects; 48 of the 109 objects are from YCB.

Use, sharing and modification are described as free for non-commercial purposes.

Gripper flexion is jointly commanded by the joystick rather than independently controlled for each finger.
