Characterizing Limits of Vision-Based Force Feedback in Simulated Surgical Tool-Tissue Interaction.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Haptic feedback can render real-time force interactions with computer simulated objects. In several telerobotic applications, it is desired that a haptic simulation reflects a physical task space or interaction accurately. This is particularly true w...

Palpation-Based Multi-Tumor Detection Method Considering Moving Distance for Robot-assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
A novel palpation-based tumor detection method for robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RMIS) is proposed in this paper. A tactile stiffness sensor based on piezoelectric vibration is designed to detect tissue stiffness just by gentle contactin...

Haptic Intracorporeal Palpation Using a Cable-Driven Parallel Robot: A User Study.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Intraoperative palpation is a surgical gesture jeopardized by the lack of haptic feedback which affects robotic minimally invasive surgery. Restoring the force reflection in teleoperated systems may improve both surgeons' performance and p...

Skin tactile surface restoration using deep learning from a mobile image: An application for virtual skincare.

Skin research and technology : official journal of International Society for Bioengineering and the Skin (ISBS) [and] International Society for Digital Imaging of Skin (ISDIS) [and] International Society for Skin Imaging (ISSI)
BACKGROUND: For virtual skincare using a touch feedback interface, reconstructing a 3D skin tactile surface from a mobile skin image is imperative for a dermatologist to palpate the skin surface that presents tactile characteristics of the subcutaneo...

Portable Interactive Pulse Tactile Recorder and Player System.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Pulse palpation is an effective method for diagnosing arterial diseases. However, most pulse measurement devices use preconfigured pressures to collect pulse signals, and most pulse tactile simulators can only display standard or predefined pulse wav...

Enhancing the Localization of Uterine Leiomyomas Through Cutaneous Softness Rendering for Robot-Assisted Surgical Palpation Applications.

IEEE transactions on haptics
Integrating tactile feedback for lump localization in Robot-assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery (RMIS) represents an open research issue, which is still far to be solved. Main reasons for this are related e.g. to the need for a transparent connection...

Action Augmentation of Tactile Perception for Soft-Body Palpation.

Soft robotics
Medical palpation is a diagnostic technique in which physicians use the sense of touch to manipulate the soft human tissue. This can be done to enable the diagnosis of possibly life-threatening conditions, such as cancer. Palpation is still poorly un...

Bio-Inspired Haptic Feedback for Artificial Palpation in Robotic Surgery.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Adding haptic feedback has been reported to improve the outcome of minimally invasive robotic surgery. In this study, we seek to determine whether an algorithm based on simulating responses of a cutaneous afferent population can be implemented to imp...

Development of a tendon driven robotic probe for prostate palpation.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Palpation is a clinical diagnosis method utilized by physicians to acquire valuable information about the pathological condition of an organ using the sense of touch. This method, however, is subjective. The accuracy depends on the physician's experi...
