Multidimensional force sensors have substantially improved the surgical quality of surgical
robots. The purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive review of the literature on …

This paper proposes a robust adaptive algorithm that effectively copes with time-varying
delay and uncertainties in Internet-based teleoperation systems. Time-delay induced by the …

A number of developed countries are rapidly turning into super-aged societies.
Consequently, the demand for reduced surgical invasiveness and enhanced efficiency in …

Interacting with human operators, remote environment, and communication networks,
teleoperation systems are considerably suffering from complexities and uncertainties …

The direct tactile assessment of surface textures during palpation is an essential component
of open surgery that is impeded in minimally invasive and robot-assisted surgery. When …

Background: The shift towards minimally invasive surgery is associated with a significant
reduction of tactile information available to the surgeon, with compensation strategies …

Interventional surgical robots are widely used in neurosurgery to improve surgeons' working
environment and surgical safety. Based on the actual operational needs of surgeons' …

As an essential method for diagnosing and treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular
diseases, interventional surgery has always been a research hotspot in biomedical …

To obtain accurate trajectory tracking with robustness and faithful force feedback in a
practical application, a sliding mode controller (SMC) combined with a compensation …

Purpose This paper aims to illustrate the increasingly important role played by tactile
sensing in robotics by considering three specific fields of application. Design/methodology …
