BGU Surgical Kinematics and vIdeo of Longitudinal Learning and Skill acquisition (BGU-SKILLS)

<p><strong>BGU-SKILLS</strong> is a comprehensive dataset of long-term surgical training collected using the da Vinci Research Kit (dVRK), featuring synchronized kinematic and video data.
The dataset comprises recordings from 18 surgical residents who, once per month over a six-month period, performed three standardized robot-assisted surgical tasks—Ring Tower Transfer, Knot-Tying, and Suturing—before, during, and after a 26-hour hospital shift. It is designed to support research in surgical robotics, motor learning, and skill assessment by capturing the progression of surgical expertise over time.</p>

<p>For each session, the dataset provides kinematic data, video recordings, manual annotations, and questionnaire-based activity and sleep information.<br>
A detailed PDF file describes the dataset structure, and data are organized by task-specific folders.</p>

<p>For further details, please refer to the associated publication.<br>
