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 review of tactile sensing technologies with applications in biomedical engineering

TL;DR: The importance of tactile sensor technology was recognized in the 1980s, along with a realization of the importance of computers and robotics, despite this awareness, tactile sensors failed to be strongly adopted in industrial or consumer markets as discussed by the authors.

The Benefit of Force Feedback in Surgery: Examination of Blunt Dissection

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that force feedback is helpful in this blunt dissection task because the artery is stiffer than the surrounding tissue, which serves to constrain the subject's hand from commanding inappropriate motions that generate large forces.

DaVinci canvas: a telerobotic surgical system with integrated, robot-assisted, laparoscopic ultrasound capability

TL;DR: DaVinci Canvas as discussed by the authors is a telerobotic surgical system with integrated robot-assisted laparoscopic ultrasound capability, which consists of the integration of a rigid laminar ultrasound probe with the daVincenci robot, video tracking of ultrasound probe motions, endoscope and ultrasound calibration and registration, autonomous robot motions, and display of registered 2D and 3D ultrasound images.

A brief taxonomy of tactile illusions and demonstrations that can be done in a hardware store.

TL;DR: This paper surveys more than twenty types of tactile illusions and discusses several of their aspects, including the ease with which they can be demonstrated and whether they have clear visual analogs.

Development of actuated and sensor integrated forceps for minimally invasive robotic surger

TL;DR: The development and first results of actuated and sensor integrated instruments as part of the DLR minimally invasive robotic surgery (MIRS) setup form one base of a telepresence working environment and are crucial for semi‐autonomous functions, e.g. motion compensation.
