A novel force sensing module integrated into a concentric tube robot (CTR) was proposed
for vitreoretinal surgery in our previous work, and this robot was able to provide tip force …

Sizes and stiffness variations of actively deformable objects pose significant challenges on
the design of compliant constant-force gripper. This paper presents a curved-beam based …

A temperature-insensitive fiber optic sensor is devised to measure the contact force at the
tool tip of transluminal surgery. The force sensor is made with a pair of fiber Bragg gratings …

Prostate biopsy is a gold standard for diagnosing prostate cancer. Clinically, since targeting
the biopsy needle to exact positions of the cancer is not easy, multiple sampling technique is …
