Safer human–robot interactions mandate the adoption of proprioceptive actuation. Strain
sensors can detect the deformation of tools and devices in unstructured and capricious …

Background Our aim was to build a skill assessment system, providing objective feedback to
trainees based on the motion metrics of laparoscopic surgical instruments. Methods …

The purpose of this study was to characterize the motion features of surgical devices
associated with laparoscopic surgical competency and build an automatic skill-credential …

This study developed and validated a surgical instrument motion measurement system for
skill evaluation during practical laparoscopic surgery training. Owing to the various …

This study proposes simulation-based surgical navigation concept and describes the
development of a laparoscopic surgical simulator that reflects the motion of surgical …

This paper describes the development and validation of measurement system for
laparoscopic surgical procedures in practical surgery training. In order to measure motion of …

During neurosurgery, brain deformation occurs because of gravity and leakage of the
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which is referred to as brain shift. Brain shift is a serious problem …

Background Tissue handling is one of the pivotal parts of surgical procedures. We aimed to
elucidate the characteristics of experts' left-hand during laparoscopic tissue dissection …

Laparoscopic surgery is a widely used surgical technique, on the other hand, its high degree
of difficulty makes it difficult for beginners to learn the technique efficiently. In addition, recent …

Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that is performed by viewing
endoscopic camera images. However, the limited field of view of endoscopic cameras …
