An automatic skill evaluation framework for robotic surgery training

To provide feedback to surgeons in robotic surgery training, many surgical skill evaluation methods have been developed. However, they hardly focus on the performance of the surgical motion segments. This paper proposes a method of specifying a trainee's skill weakness in the surgical training.
