...Matthew Gilbertson; Brian Anthony; Shih-Yu Sun An actuated handheld force-feedback controlled ultrasound probe has been developed. The controller maintains a prescribed contact force between the probe and a patient’s body. The device will enhance the diagnostic capability of free-hand elastography...

... insertion. Optimality measures that account for shape discrepancies between the steerable electrode array and the scala tympani are used to solve for the optimal path planning of the robot. Different arrangements of DoF and insertion speed force feedback (ISFF) are simulated and experimentally validated...

..., the lack of haptic feedback in these tele-operated robotic surgical systems has inhibited the surgeon’s ability to diagnose tissue as healthy or unhealthy, thereby creating a need for force feedback in these systems. This paper presents the design and development of a compact and modular laparoscopic...

... the extended workspace typically required in telesurgery. It can also be used for tool tracking and skills assessment. Due to the linear nature of the gearing relationships, it may also be well suited for implementing force feedback for telesurgery. 02 11 2007 17 03 2008 14 05 2008 force...
