A Novel Tactile Softness Display for Minimally Invasive Surgery

Introduction to Tactile Sensing and Display

Tactile Display Technology

Covering the timely topic of tactile sensing and display in minimally invasive and robotic surgery, this book comprehensively explores new techniques which could dramatically reduce the need for invasive procedures. The tools currently used in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) lack any sort of haptic feedback, significantly reducing the performance of these types of procedures.
