Force-myography recordings from 12 subjects wearing the adaptive (active) variant of the Ottobock Paexo Shoulder while performing lifting sequences with varied weights, collected at DLR to develop regression-based intent detection for automatic support-level adaptation. CSV sensor data plus privacy-protected video on Zenodo (EU H2020 An.Dy project); access requires DLR approval.
