Reports preliminary experiments with a robot system designed to cooperatively extend a human's ability to perform fine manipulation tasks requiring human judgement, sensory integration and hand-eye coordination, and preliminary feasibility experiments demonstrate stable one-dimensional robotic augmentation and "force scaling" of a human operator's tactile input.
Abstract
Reports preliminary experiments with a robot system designed to cooperatively extend a human's ability to perform fine manipulation tasks requiring human judgement, sensory integration and hand-eye coordination. A completed steady-hand robot is reported. A stable force control law is reviewed. Preliminary experiments validate theoretical predictions of stable one-dimensional control of tool-tip forces in contact with both linearly and nonlinearly compliant objects. Preliminary feasibility experiments demonstrate stable one-dimensional robotic augmentation and "force scaling" of a human operator's tactile input.

Laparoscopic ultrasound robotic surgical system

TL;DR: A LUS robotic surgical system is trained by a surgeon to automatically move a LUS probe in a desired fashion upon command so that the surgeon does not have to do so manually during a minimally invasive surgical procedure as discussed by the authors.
