Method and apparatus for controlling a haptic device
TL;DR: In this article, a method for controlling a surgical device is presented, which includes manipulating the surgical device to perform a procedure on a patient, determining whether a relationship between an anatomy of the patient and a position, an orientation, a velocity, and/or an acceleration of a surgical tool corresponds to a desired relationship between the anatomy and the position, the orientation, the velocity and or the acceleration of the surgical tool.

Haptic feedback for button and scrolling action simulation in touch input devices
TL;DR: In this paper, a planar touch control is used to provide input to a computer and haptic feedback is provided by actuators coupled to the touch input device and outputs a force to provide a haptic sensation to the user via the touch surface.
Patent
System and method for haptic sculpting of physical objects
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for haptic sculpting of a physical object using a haptic device is described, where the haptic cues are used to guide a user of the medical device in sculpting at least a portion of the physical object.
