Evaluation of robotic hand kinematics using metrics such as KaRMA, Yoshikawa, and Graded Conformity Index (GCI) on the 16 Robotic Hands dataset.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Robotic Hand Kinematic Analysis |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | 16 Robotic Hands |
| Metric | Thumb WS Index |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 16 of 16 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [Thumb WS Index](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/robotic-hand-kinematic-analysis-on-16-robotic-hands.md?metric=Thumb%20WS%20Index>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Opposability Index](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/robotic-hand-kinematic-analysis-on-16-robotic-hands.md?metric=Opposability%20Index>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Yoshikawa Index (Combined)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/robotic-hand-kinematic-analysis-on-16-robotic-hands.md?metric=Yoshikawa%20Index%20(Combined)>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [GCI (Combined)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/robotic-hand-kinematic-analysis-on-16-robotic-hands.md?metric=GCI%20(Combined)>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [KaRMA (Translational)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/robotic-hand-kinematic-analysis-on-16-robotic-hands.md?metric=KaRMA%20(Translational)>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [KaRMA (Rotational)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/robotic-hand-kinematic-analysis-on-16-robotic-hands.md?metric=KaRMA%20(Rotational)>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [KaRMA (Static)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/robotic-hand-kinematic-analysis-on-16-robotic-hands.md?metric=KaRMA%20(Static)>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.
