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.

Do It Yourself Haptics: Part II [Tutorial]

TL;DR: This article is the second of a two-part series intended to be an introduction to haptic interfaces, their construction, and application design; between the vision of a particular utility that haptic feedback theoretically should enable and the hardware capable of delivering the required sensations is the problem of designing the interaction in a usable way.

Pneumatic balloon actuators for tactile feedback in robotic surgery

TL;DR: A pneumatic balloon‐based system has been developed to provide tactile feedback to the fingers of the surgeon during robotic surgery and has been mounted directly onto the da Vinci surgical system.
