PKU-EPIC

Synthetic dexterous grasp configurations generated for a Shadow Hand and validated in simulation.

What you can explore

Explore grasp synthesis, object coverage and simulated grasp evaluation.

Before you use it

Simulation validity is not proof of physical success or compatibility with another hand.

Data & code

LOOK INSIDE THE FORMAT

Understand the data before downloading.

Synthetic static grasp configurations · NumPy grasp records + object meshes

Interactive schema guide, not a hosted dataset sample. The original files remain with their authors.

SELECTED FIELD

qpos

Named configuration values

Hand translation, rotation parameters and named joints.

Timing and units
Not a time-series trajectory; frames per second and robot control frequency do not apply.

First inspection

  1. Read the original access terms and download the needed assets.
  2. Open the official quick-example notebook in its documented environment.
  3. Inspect one grasp, mesh scale and hand configuration before generating or evaluating grasps.

A static grasp is not an action sequence. Use the notebook’s rotation conversion rather than treating all qpos values as joint angles.
