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.

Force feedback enhancement for soft tissue interaction tasks in cooperative robotic surgery

TL;DR: A new torque controller with non-linear force feedback (FFE) is presented to provide augmented haptic perception to the operator, during the instrument's placement on the tissue, to allow for a safer tissue contact with respect to both robotic assistance without force feedback and freehand executions.
