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.

A Framework for Tumor Localization in Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery

Nikita Chopra
TL;DR: A framework where a surgical tool is moved teleoperatively in a manner analogous to the repetitive pressing motion of a finger during manual palpation is presented to explore how tissue palpation can be performed in Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery (RAMIS) using laparoscopic instruments conventionally used in RAMIS.

How force perception changes in different refresh rate conditions

TL;DR: The overall result of these experiments shows an improved sensitivity in almost all variables considered with refresh rates of 500 and 1,000 Hz compared with a refresh rate of 250 Hz, but no improved sensitivity is showed among them.

Haptic Feedback Control Methods for Steering Systems

Tushar Chugh
TL;DR: This thesis investigates closed-loop control, in which the desired steering feedback response can be separated from the hardware dynamics, and focuses on the driver excitation, where a methodology is proposed for developing such a reference model using the standard vehicle handling maneuvers.
