 # Comprehensive Robotic Cholecystectomy Dataset (CRCD)
 
-## Robotic Assisted Surgery Dataset
+The **Comprehensive Robotic Cholecystectomy Dataset (CRCD)** is a large-scale, multimodal dataset for **robot-assisted surgery research**.  
+It provides synchronized **endoscopic videos, da Vinci surgical robot kinematics, and pedal usage signals**, making it one of the most complete open datasets for studying **robotic cholecystectomy procedures**.  
+
+CRCD supports research in:
+- Medical robotics and surgical automation  
+- Computer vision for endoscopic surgery  
+- Surgical workflow analysis and phase recognition  
+- Instrument tracking and tissue segmentation  
+- AI and machine learning in healthcare

 ## Dataset Creation
 
-This dataset includes synced endoscopic images with the recorded da Vinci kinematics and console pedal readings.
-Several surgeons with different backgrounds performed each procedure. For further details, please refer to our paper.
+CRCD was collected during **robotic cholecystectomy procedures** performed on the **da Vinci surgical system**.  
+Each case includes:
+- **High-resolution endoscopic video**  
+- **Robot kinematic data** (ECM, MTML, MTMR, PSM1, PSM2)  
+- **Surgeon pedal signals** (clutch, camera, monopolar, bipolar)  
+
+Several surgeons with different levels of expertise participated, enabling research on **skill assessment, workflow modeling, and training.**
