IEEE Transactions on Haptics
|November 3, 2023
Summary
Researchers reviewed force sensing techniques for robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RMIS). This survey classifies methods, identifies gaps, and outlines future trends in RMIS force sensing technology.
Area of Science:
- Robotics and Biomedical Engineering
- Surgical Technology
Background:
- Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is prevalent in robotic-assisted surgery (RAS).
- Current RAS often lack the necessary strength and tactile feedback of surgical instruments.
- This limitation necessitates the development of advanced force sensing in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RMIS).
Approach:
- Systematic classification and review of force sensing approaches in RMIS.
- Focus on direct and indirect force sensing methodologies.
- Comprehensive literature review of sensing principles, haptic sensor design, and technologies from 2000-2022.
Key Points:
- Direct force sensing measures forces directly applied to the tool.
- Indirect force sensing infers forces from other measurable parameters.
- Review covers diverse sensing principles and haptic sensor standards.
Conclusions:
- Identifies current shortcomings in RMIS force sensing.
- Discusses emerging trends and future research directions.
- Provides a roadmap for advancing force sensing in robotic surgery.
