MPU6050 Gyroscope Data for Posture Tracking and Analysis [Mendeley Data, March 2025]
Catalog Summary
"Real-time posture monitoring dataset from the MPU6050 6-axis sensor (3D gyroscope + 3D accelerometer) attached to the upper body, streaming wirelessly via Phyphox. Angular orientation values: Angle_X, Angle_Y, Angle_Z. Mendeley Data, March 2025 — DOI: 10.17632/ftn4rjnd6x.1. Used for LSTM-based posture classification and ergonomics."
Catalog Notes
Overview
Published on Mendeley Data in March 2025, this dataset uses the MPU6050 — a 6-axis MEMS device integrating a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer — attached to the upper body of subjects. Data was streamed wirelessly in real time via the Phyphox mobile application. Rather than providing raw sensor readings, the dataset delivers derived angular orientation values (Angle_X, Angle_Y, Angle_Z) computed by integrating gyroscope readings over time, representing tilt and rotation of the upper body relative to a reference orientation.
Column Schema
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Timestamp | Date and time of the angular measurement (real-time stream). |
| Angle_X (degrees) | Tilt along the X-axis: forward-backward lean of the upper body. |
| Angle_Y (degrees) | Tilt along the Y-axis: side-to-side lateral lean of the upper body. |
| Angle_Z (degrees) | Rotation along the Z-axis: axial twist of the upper body. |
