Understanding object information during robotic hand grasping is a key goal in robotics. Researchers have integrated tactile sensors to replicate artificial haptics on humanoid robot fingertips, but robotic grasping has yet to be fully applied in pal...
Accurate classification of biomedical signals is crucial for advancing non-invasive diagnostic methods, particularly for identifying gastrointestinal and related medical conditions where conventional techniques often fall short. An ensemble learning ...
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is an essential part of the Chinese medical system and is recognized by the World Health Organization as an important alternative medicine. As an important part of TCM, TCM diagnosis is a method to understand a pati...
Teleoperated medical technologies are a fundamental part of the healthcare system. From telemedicine to remote surgery, they allow remote diagnosis and treatment. However, the absence of any interface able to effectively reproduce the sense of touch ...
Palpation is a simple but effective method to distinguish tumors from healthy tissues. The development of miniaturized tactile sensors embedded on endoscopic or robotic devices is key to achieving precise palpation diagnosis and subsequent timely tre...
The direct tactile assessment of surface textures during palpation is an essential component of open surgery that is impeded in minimally invasive and robot-assisted surgery. When indirectly palpating with a surgical instrument, the structural vibrat...

Tissue examination by hand remains an essential technique in clinical practice. The effective application depends on skills in sensorimotor coordination, mainly involving haptic, visual, and auditory feedback. The skills clinicians have to learn can ...
The implementation of robotic systems for minimally invasive surgery and medical procedures is an active topic of research in recent years. One of the most common procedures is the palpation of soft tissues to identify their mechanical characteristic...
The ensuing pilot investigation sheds new light on characterizing tumoral and non-tumoral human skin mechanical properties that will not only assist the dermatologist's diagnosis but also could constitute the creation of an Artificial Intelligence da...
Realtime visual feedback from consequences of actions is useful for future safety-critical human-robot interaction applications such as remote physical examination of patients. Given multiple formats to present visual feedback, using face as feedback...
