Despite significant developments in the design of surgical robots and automated techniques for objective evaluation of surgical skills, there are still challenges in ensuring safety in robot-assisted minimally-invasive surgery (RMIS). This paper presents a runtime monitoring system for the detection of executional errors during surgical tasks through the analysis of kinematic data. The proposed sy...
