Robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RMIS) made it possible to perform a number of
medical manipulations with reduced patient trauma and better accuracy. Various devices …

Objectives: Haptics in teleoperated medical interventions enables measurement and
transfer of force information to the operator during robot-environment interaction. This paper …

Pose estimation methods for robotically guided magnetic actuation of capsule endoscopes
have recently enabled trajectory following and automation of repetitive endoscopic …

With the development of artificial intelligence, stiffness sensors are extensively utilized in
various fields, and their integration with robots for automated palpation has gained …

Magnetic coupling is one of the few physical phenomena capable of transmitting motion
across a physical barrier. In gastrointestinal endoscopy, remote magnetic manipulation has …

In an open surgery, identification of precise margins for curative tissue resection is
performed by manual palpation. This is not the case for minimally invasive and robotic …

The utilization of telemedicine significantly surged during COVID-19 pandemic. For both

This review looks at the implementation of magnetic-based approaches in surgical
instruments for abdominal surgeries. As abdominal surgical techniques advance toward …

Surgeons cannot directly touch the patient's tissue in robot-assisted minimally invasive
procedures. Instead, they must palpate using instruments inserted into the body through …

We propose local magnetic actuation (LMA) as an approach to robotic actuation for surgical
instruments. An LMA actuation unit consists of a pair of diametrically magnetized single …
