The designs of existing commercial RMIS systems are not conducive for force feedback, and
creative solutions are needed to create compelling tactile feedback systems. Surgeons …

Emerging paradigms furthering the reach of medical technology into human anatomy
present unique modeling, control, and sensing problems. This review provides a brief history …

Simulation-based training is increasingly being used for assessment and training of
psychomotor skills involved in medicine. The application of artificial intelligence and …

Methods and systems are described for controlling movement of a continuum robot that
includes a plurality of independently controlled segments along the length of the continuum …

The growth of medical robotics since the mid-1980s has been striking. From a few initial
efforts in stereotactic brain surgery, orthopaedics, endoscopic surgery, microsurgery, and …

This paper presents a novel surgical instrument integrated with a four-degree-of-freedom
(DOF) force sensor. By adopting the capacitive transduction principle, the sensor enables …
