TLDR
The designs of existing commercial RMIS systems are not conducive for force feedback, and creative solutions are needed to create compelling tactile feedback systems.
Abstract
Purpose of Review Robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RMIS) holds great promise for improving the accuracy and dexterity of a surgeon while minimizing trauma to the patient. However, widespread clinical success with RMIS has been marginal. It is hypothesized that the lack of haptic (force and tactile) feedback presented to the surgeon is a limiting factor. This review explains the technical challenges of creating haptic feedback for robot-assisted surgery and provides recent results that evaluate the effectiveness of haptic feedback in mock surgical tasks.

Controller designs for bilateral teleoperation with input saturation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conduct rigorous stability analyses of the teleoperation system under the input saturation and develop a new control scheme that guarantees the stability for a global operation region, in which the speed of motion of the master robot can be substantially greater than the actuator capability of the slave robot.
