...Bruno-Pier Busque; Louis-Philippe Lebel; Yves Collin; Jean-Sébastien Plante Although laparoscopy has revolutionized modern medicine, its training remains long and complex due to reduced haptic feedback and loss of depth perception. Training also poses an ethical challenge when performed on living...

... that uses amplified elastic deformation of the compliant end-effector. We also demonstrate an immersive tele-operated tissue-cutting system together with a haptic device that gives real-time force feedback to the user. compliant mechanisms tissue-cutting tele-operation haptics Current...

..., 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...

...Robert L. Williams, II; Wei Ji; John N. Howell; Robert R. Conatser, Jr. We present a method for measurement of human tissue compliance in vivo using a commercial haptic interface to apply known step changes in force while recording the resulting displacements. We introduce our system, the soft...
