A dataset of labelled videos of subjects performing activities of daily living, for a total of nine hours, and the description of MatLab tools for labelling new videos according to the taxonomy presented in V. Arapi, C. D. Santina, G. Averta, A. Bicchi and M. Bianchi, "Understanding Human Manipulation With the Environment: A Novel Taxonomy for Video Labelling," in IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, vol. 6, no. 4, pp. 6537-6544, Oct. 2021, doi: 10.1109/LRA.2021.3094246

U-Limb: A multi-modal, multi-center database on arm motion control in healthy and post-stroke conditions by G. Averta et al. 2021

“The Acoustic Sensing Starter Kit” by Vincent Wall, Gabriel Zöller, Oliver Brock, 2020. This kit provides a simple starting point for anyone to try out Acoustic Sensing for themselves. It includes suggestions for hardware, as well as a set of simple Python scripts to get started.
