The authors' main claim As a proof of concept, the data set was used for creating a human-inspired data-driven strategy for robotic grip release in handovers, which was demonstrated to result in better robot to human handovers.
The compiled record
The paper's own sentences, arranged. Each label is drawn from a closed vocabulary; the number beside it is the probability the classifier gave that label. Numbers in the tables are the authors', checked by code. No sentence in this record was written by a model.

The abstract, sentence by sentence
Handovers are basic yet sophisticated motor tasks performed seamlessly by humans. They are among the most common activities in our daily lives and social environments. This makes mastering the art of handovers critical for a social and collaborative robot. In this work, we present an experimental study that involved human-human handovers by 13 pairs, i.e., 26 participants. We record and explore multiple features of handovers amongst humans aimed at inspiring handovers amongst humans and robots. With this work, we further create and publish a novel data set of 8672 handovers, bringing together human motion and the forces involved. We further analyze the effect of object weight and the role of visual sensory input in human-human handovers, as well as possible design implications for robots. As a proof of concept, the data set was used for creating a human-inspired data-driven strategy for robotic grip release in handovers, which was demonstrated to result in better robot to human handovers.
