+# SutureBot: A Precision Framework and Benchmark for Autonomous End-to-End Suturing
+
+This dataset is part of the **SutureBot** project, a benchmark for developing and evaluating autonomous surgical robotic policies for end-to-end suturing. It contains high-resolution, multi-camera video and robot kinematics from real robot demonstrations on tissue phantoms, supporting research in imitation learning, vision-language-action modeling, and surgical autonomy.
+
+## Dataset Summary
+
+The dataset includes:
+
+- **Stereo endoscope images** (`left_img_dir`, `right_img_dir`)
+- **Wrist camera views** (`endo_psm1`, `endo_psm2`)
+- **Low-level kinematics** (end-effector pose, joint angles, jaw state, etc.) in `ee_csv.csv`
+- **Multiple tissues** and **multiple task types** (e.g., needle pick-up, suturing)
+- All data is organized by:
+tissue_<id>/<task_name>/<episode_timestamp>/
+
+
+Each episode is a complete trajectory from a real robotic execution using a da Vinci Research Kit (dVRK) platform.
+
+---
+
+## Usage
+
+This dataset is designed for training and evaluating autonomous policies that take as input multi-view RGB images (optionally language-conditioned), and output continuous control actions.
+
+It supports a wide range of applications including:
+- Behavioral cloning and offline RL
+- Multi-modal policy learning (images + kinematics + language)
+- Visual servoing and tool tracking
+- Surgical robot benchmarking
+
+---
+
+## File Structure
+
+Each episode contains:
+- `left_img_dir/`: Left endoscope camera images
+- `right_img_dir/`: Right endoscope camera images
+- `endo_psm1/`: Right wrist (PSM1) camera images
+- `endo_psm2/`: Left wrist (PSM2) camera images
+- `ee_csv.csv`: Kinematic data including joint states, poses, and jaw angles
+
+---
+
+## Format
+
+- Image format: `.jpg`, RGB
+- Kinematics: CSV with columns such as:
+- `timestamp`
+- `psm1_pose.position.{x,y,z}`
+- `psm1_pose.orientation.{x,y,z,w}`
+- `psm1_js[0-5]`, `psm2_js[0-5]`, etc.
+- `ecm_pose.*`, `suj_pose.*`, etc.
+
+A complete list of columns is available in the `dataset.croissant.json` schema.
