Prototype Haptic Feedback Device for Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery
Επιτομή
Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery (RAMIS) is an innovation that has benefited hundreds of thousands of patients to date. However, despite their many advantages, those robots are not as popular as expected. Many health professionals are hesitant to use them since they don't provide as much feedback as to their human senses. Haptic feedback is crucial for the smooth conduction of the operation. Our goal was to develop a low-cost sensing system for surgical robots, which will add to their attraction and make them more appealing to surgeons and patients. © 2021 IEEE
