BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Currently, the assessment of surgical skills relies primarily on the observations of expert surgeons. This may be time-consuming, non-scalable, inconsistent and subjective. Therefore, an automated system that can objectivel...
Soft robotic devices have desirable traits for applications in minimally invasive surgery (MIS), but many interdisciplinary challenges remain unsolved. To understand current technologies, we carried out a keyword search using the Web of Science and S...
Minimally invasive robotic surgery allows for many advantages over traditional surgical procedures, but the loss of force feedback combined with a potential for strong grasping forces can result in excessive tissue damage. Single modality haptic feed...
