Encountered-Type Haptic Displays (ETHDs) provide haptic feedback by positioning a
tangible surface for the user to encounter. This permits users to freely eliciting haptic …

Objective: Intraoperative palpation is a surgical gesture jeopardized by the lack of haptic
feedback which affects robotic minimally invasive surgery. Restoring the force reflection in …

For nearly three decades, researchers have explored the use of augmented reality for
facilitating collaboration between humans and robots. In this survey paper, we review the …

Robotic phantoms enable advanced physical examination training before using human
patients. In this article, we present an abdominal phantom for palpation training with …

Robotic patients show great potential for helping to improve medical palpation training, as
they can provide feedback that cannot be obtained in a real patient. They provide …

In this article, we propose an approach towards an infinite surface haptic display. Our
approach, named ENcountered-Type ROtating Prop Approach (ENTROPiA) is based on a …

This work investigates the use of a highly immersive telepresence system for industrial
robotics. A Robot Operating System integrated framework is presented where a remote robot …

Encountered-Type Haptic Displays (ETHDs) represent a field of haptic displays with the
premise of not using any type of actuator directly in contact with the user skin, thus providing …

Teleoperated systems are routinely used in robotic surgery but have not yet permeated other
medical procedures, such as palpation. The main obstacle preventing it is the absence of …

Teleoperated robots have been widely accepted in several fields of medical practice,
enhancing human abilities and allowing remote operation. However, such technology has …
