Haptic Sensing for Use in Miniature In-Vivo Robotic Grasping Tasks
Journal Article, Journal of Medical Devices, Vol. 7, No. 3, September, 2013
Abstract
Surgical procedures have been improved greatly through the use of minimally invasive techniques. These techniques allow the surgeon access to the abdomen of the body without the necessity of a large incision. The same reasons that allow laparoscopic procedures to produce limited scarring and reduced risk of infection hamper the surgeon. Passing long rigid tools through the skin requires advanced training for accurate control of the tools. As found by MacFarlane in [1], tool choice greatly affects the surgeon's ability to palpate and grasp tissue for diagnosis and manipulation so as to minimize trauma.
