The nominal mapping is `q_urdf = q_dataset`. URDF `origin` defines the joint transform at zero angle, and `axis` defines the positive rotation direction. Do not subtract an episode's first frame as a new zero or apply an additional left/right sign flip. No per-device mechanical zero-offset correction is applied by this export.

Two SDK naming aliases are worth distinguishing: `thumb_DIP` corresponds to URDF `thumb_IP`, and `pinky_CMC_FE` corresponds to URDF `pinky_CMC`. The tactile finger name `little` corresponds to URDF `pinky`. A complete index-to-name mapping for both hands is provided in [hand_joint_mapping.json](assets/coordinate_frames/hand_joint_mapping.json).

The corresponding homogeneous transform is `T_root_hand_base`, with `p_root = T_root_hand_base @ p_hand_base` for homogeneous column vectors. This TCP frame is distinct from each fingertip's tactile `elastomer` frame. Existing metadata may still contain `rotation_type: null`; this README explicitly documents the observed TCP convention without rewriting the recorded arrays. The frame definition and agreement with nominal URDF FK do not establish independently measured physical positioning accuracy.
