Pneumatic balloon actuators for tactile feedback in robotic surgery

Culjat, Martin; King, Chih‐Hung; Franco, Miguel; … - In: Industrial Robot: An International Journal 35 (2008) 5, pp. 449-455

Purpose – Robotic surgery is limited by the lack of haptic feedback to the surgeon. The addition of tactile information may enable surgeons to feel tissue characteristics, appropriately tension sutures, and identify pathologic conditions. Tactile feedback may also enable expansion of minimally...
