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.

The role of visual-haptic discrepancy in virtual reality environments

TL;DR: The trend of psychophysical curves show as, in presence of discrepancies or errors between an haptic and a visual surface, the overall perception is influenced by the stiffness of the haptic surface, in according with a weighted summation model.

An approach to develop haptic feedback control reference for steering systems using open-loop driving manoeuvres

TL;DR: In this article, a model-based haptic feedback control reference for closed-loop steering systems is demonstrated, based on the measurements of open-loop driving manoeuvres for the inertia-spring-damper-friction reference model.

Surgical Simulation in Pediatric Urologic Education

TL;DR: Surgical simulation offers extraordinary opportunities to teach multiple clinical scenarios in a safe, nonhuman patient environment where performance feedback is immediate and objective and medical decision-making simulation for minimally invasive surgery and open surgery is in its infancy.

Texture differentiation using audio signal analysis with robotic interventional instruments.

TL;DR: A new method based on acoustic emission has been recently proposed for acquiring audio information from tool-tissue interaction during minimally invasive procedures that provide user guidance feedback and a first proof of concept is presented.
