During the last decades, smart tactile sensing systems based on different sensing
techniques have been developed due to their high potential in industry and biomedical …

Over the last two decades, considerable scientific and technological efforts have been
devoted to develo** tactile sensing based on a variety of transducing mechanisms, with …

This article presents an overview of the current state of research and application of haptic
(primarily kinesthetic) feedback and force-based teleoperation in the context of surgical …

Gait is the locomotion attained through the movement of limbs and gait analysis examines
the patterns (normal/abnormal) depending on the gait cycle. It contributes to the …

(57) ABSTRACT A multi-force sensing instrument includes a tool that has a tool shaft having
a distal end and a proximal end, a strain sensor arranged at a first position along the tool …

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 …

Vitreoretinal surgery requires very fine motor control to perform precise manipulation of the
delicate tissue in the interior of the eye. Besides physiological hand tremor, fatigue, poor …

In robotic‐assisted minimally invasive surgery (RMIS), non‐sentient surgical instruments
make it impossible for surgeons to perceive operational force during the procedure. To …

A novel surgical palpation probe installing a miniature 6-axis force/torque (F/T) sensor is
presented for robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery. The 6-axis F/T sensor is developed …

The current study highlights the development of a novel and high-accuracy Fiber Bragg
Grating (FBG)-enabled tri-axial distal force sensor for minimally invasive surgical palpation …
